Hi! I'm running SOOPERLOOPER 1.6.13 with fedora 11 and I can't run it!
When I start sooperlooper through menu shortcut , slgui appears, and the connections appear normally into jack for few second. Then I got an error saying "Lost connection to SooperLooper engine.
See the Preferences->Connections tab to start a new one".
slgui: our URL is osc.udp://localhost:10974/
execing: 'sooperlooper -q -U osc.udp://localhost:10974/ -p 9951 -l 1 -c 2 -t 40 -m "/home/tch/.sooperlooper/default_midi.slb"'
slgui: spawned new engine

Edit /etc/hosts and take the 'localhost' out of the second line starting with ::1. Or even comment the second line out (insert a # at the front). Let me know if that helps..
The above worked for me; any notion of why that line was written into my hosts file? The only change I've made was updates... narrows it down to, ha; twenty or thirty things, right
Thank you so much,

It's because the newer Linux kernels have IPv6 enabled by default. It likely did that after an update. I will keep an eye out for this when putting SL on newer Ubuntu computers.
Unfortunately my /etc/hosts file gets the ::1 .... localhost6. localdomain6 .... written into it every time I restart and every time I reconnect my internet connection. This is happening even after disabling IPv6 (according to the instruction at http://fedorasolved.org/network-solutions/disable-ipv6) -a brutal method of solving the problem, to be sure, but I couldn't come up with a better one.
I'm looking for a solution, and when I find it will post it here, but in the mean time if you have any suggestion I'd appreciate it very much.
Thanks!
I recently upgraded all of my machines to Snow Leopard. Unfortunately none of the machines work with sooperlooper any longer. I keep getting the "Lost connection to SooperLooper engine." message when loading sooperlooper as a plugin. I have edited the /etc/hosts file and have only left 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
This has not fixed the problem and I'm looking for some help!
this is my first visit. I'm a pro musician with good mac/multimedia knowledge, but no linux expert.
I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a eeepc with 2G ram. (in fact I have 3 of them ;- )
Sooperlooper suddenly stopped working, when I plugged in a new USB hub.
I restarted the computer and did extensive troubleshooting, including many jack related actions.
I always get this "lost connection"-message.
Now I suspect sth: I changed the name of the computer some days ago (using gksudo gedit /etc/hostname
Could this be the reason? And how can it be solved?
