Oops, I spoke too soon :-( . RoseGarden appeared to be working, but I couldn't get any sound out of it. I've fiddled around with lots of programs and settings, and then RG started to crash when starting up :-\ . Eventually I found a newsgroup posting that said to use 'modprobe snd-seq' and that stopped the crashing, but I still didn't have any sound. Now KMidi, Timidity et al have started crashing as well, so something's up.

Any ideas where I should start ?

If it's any help, this is what I get when I start the RoseGardenSequencer from Konsole:

**************
$ rosegardensequencer
MappedAudioPluginManager::discoverPlugins - discovering plugins
Rosegarden AlsaDriver - alsa-lib version 0.9.0rc6

ALSA Client information:


Record client set to (-1, -1)


AlsaDriver::initialiseMidi - can't subscribe input client/port
AlsaDriver::initialiseMidi -  initialised MIDI subsystem
cannot connect to jack server
cannot connect to default JACK server
AlsaDriver::initialiseAudio - JACK server not running
**************

If I try to start JACK, I get this:

**************
$ jackd -d alsa -d hw

Any thoughts ?

Hi there,
I'm having some fun (not) trying to install a program. Is anyone able to help ?
It's a music notation/MIDI composer called RoseGarden. I'm using Mandrake 9.1.


I've downloaded the following RPM's:

rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
librosegarden0-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586.rpm

I right-click on 'rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586.rpm' and select 'Software Installer'.
I then get this message:
***
To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed (6 MB):
libjack0-0.50.0-3mdk.i586
rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk.i586


Is this OK?
***

I click on OK, and a few seconds later get this message:
***
Conflicts were detected:

librosegarden0-4-arts = 0.9.1 is needed by rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk
libRosegardenSequencer.so.0 is needed by rosegarden-4-arts-0.9.1-2mdk

Install aborted
***

I'm stuck at this point. I assume ' librosegarden0-4-arts' is the RPM I downloaded (above). I can't find ' libRosegardenSequencer.so.0' anywhere. I've Googled hi and lo, and found nothing helpful.
I've tried installing 'librosegarden0-4-arts' first, but it complains that it needs 'rosegarden0-4-arts', so I'm going round in circles...


Any advice/ideas gratefully received !

Thanks
Dave
