I'm using Scientific Linux5.1 and am attempting to run RG. In starting RG I get the following error message: AlsaDriver::initialiseMidi - couldn't open sequencer - No such file or directory - perhaps you need to modprobe snd-seq-midi When I attempt to "modprobe snd-seq-midi", I get: FATAL: Module snd_seq_midi not found Google has ony 3 links to this message (1 in Chinese). The other two weren't helpful. Now what do I do?

First you can check it the sequencer module is in the kernel, and not as a module, by doing "ls /proc/asound", if you can't find a directory named seq, then you most likely have to reconfig and rcompile the kernel (open up /usr/src/linux/.config in your fav text editor, and make sure 'CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m', and then make all modules_install. then you might try to modprobe snd-seq-mid again) -- Opuskreator ad.

What you have is an entirely more complicated situation. How far as you willing to go to solve this? This problem is probably only the tip of the iceberg for you in terms of the complications you're going to face trying to run Rosegarden on that distro. These days, trying to get Rosegarden to do anything on a distro that isn't studio-oriented (eg. Ubuntu Studio, 64 Studio) is pretty much an exercise in pushing a boulder up hill. -- D.

Some kind of lib or version conflict, IIRC. I keep saying I'm going to set things up properly on the server, but never seem to find the time for it. -- David gn...@ha... authenticity, honesty, community |

Don't you also need to install an rt kernel? -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.klebran.org.uk - Gwirydd gramadeg rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg |

That's why I use fluidsynth - it loads soundfonts just fine when I start it. ;-) -- David gn...@ha... authenticity, honesty, community |

Instead of giving up in depression, keep yourself happy by using an audio-distro and run RG "OOTB". If you're accustomed to use Suse, try jacklab. Maybe the live-CD is enough for your requirements. Some live-CDs can be installed in existing filesystems, in case you want to keep Scientific Linux. http://jacklab.net/jacklaborg/english/?JackLab_Audio_Distribution Another option would be to try to install the rt-kernel from the jacklab-distro. Though I have no idea (I guess no), if that would solve all problems with running audio properly. |

It works very well for a few audio tracks simultaneously. But, yes, I have -rt kernel too, because it was easy one to obtain. I think it's in the main repository. Vlada |
