Hi World!
I run sarge, the sound is perfectly working but I don't have a soundcard with a midi synthetiser, so I would like to use timidity. I set it up, configurated it to use a soundfont and modified the /etc/default/timidity file for it to be started at boot time. At boot I have the following error: Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation: /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg: No such file or directory. timidity: Can't find any configuration file. Please check /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg (failed). The file is perfectly operational: I can play midi by using timidity in the command line! Here is a copy of it: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:brice]$ cat /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg # Instrument configuration file for timidity # $Id: timidity.cfg,v 1.5 2004/08/07 15:59:19 hmh Exp $ # You can change just about every option in TiMidity++ using # This config file. Please refer to the timidity.cfg(5) manpage # for more details ## If you have a slow CPU, uncomment these: opt EFresamp=d #disable resampling opt EFvlpf=d #disable VLPF opt EFreverb=d #disable reverb opt EFchorus=d #disable chorus opt EFdelay=d #disable delay #opt no-antialias #disable sample anti-aliasing #opt EWPVSETOZ #disable all Midi Controls #opt p32a #default to 32 voices with auto reduction #opt s32kHz #default sample frequency to 32kHz opt fast-decay #fast decay notes # By default, try to use the instrument patches from freepats: source /etc/timidity/freepats.cfg soundfont /home/brice/Documents/MyMusic/SoundFonts/Chaos.sf2 amp=80% order=0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:brice]$ All seems to be right! Even without the addition of the soundfont, I have the error at boot. Moreover (and this is the strangiest thing): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:brice]$ sudo /etc/init.d/timidity start Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation: timidity. Emulating midi on ports: 128:0 128:1 128:2 128:3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:brice]$ The starting script is executed well by a user but failed at boot time. Does someone have timidity working at boot time as an alsa sequencer client? Any idea on how to solve this matter will be welcome!
