After this, TiMidity works but as it isn't totally configured, I get this error every time I install something or run "dpkg --configure -a".
I get the same error when I run "/etc/init.d/timidity restart". This seems to be just an error on /etc/init.d/timidity, since running manually
I don't know if anybody has the same problem, but after installing TiMidity on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 I get this error:
"ALSA lib pcm.c:2105:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library plugindir/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so
[fail]
invoke-rc.d: initscript timidity, action "start" failed."

"start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/bin/timidity --pidfile /var/run/timidity.pid -- -B2,8 -iAD"
doesn't gives me any error, and starts a TiMidity JACK session.
I didn't have any of these problems on Ubuntu 7.04 (probably due to the new PulseAudio sound manager, which may not be supported by TiMidity).
I think you should install libasound2-plugins to get that file.
Thanks, but I already have it installed.
For now, I have edited /etc/init.d/timidity like this:
[...]
case "$1" in
start)
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/bin/timidity --pidfile /var/run/timidity.pid -- -B2,8 -iAD
exit 0
;;
stop)
[...]
and at least it works, and doesn't throw any annoying error (due to the "exit 0" line).
Never mind; it was an ALSA problem.
Fixed it by editing .asoundrc and commenting a line that got misteriously uncommented.
