So there is no sequencer (midi) device, you need to load the midi modules. > > [Sequencer not running stops Kmidi too.] > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod|grep snd > snd_ali5451 23684 2 > snd_ac97_codec 74144 1 snd_ali5451 > snd_pcm_oss 52132 1 > snd_mixer_oss 19680 2 snd_pcm_oss > snd_pcm 94696 3 snd_ali5451,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss > snd_timer 25060 1 snd_pcm > snd 55012 6 > snd_ali5451,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer > soundcore 10016 3 snd > snd_page_alloc 9732 1 snd_pcm > no midi here, suggest you try loading the modules. These are on ubuntu livecd on vmware: snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_rawmidi snd_seq_device snd same on gentoo. However neither had inserted snd_seq_midi on its own, I had to modprobe it. This is usually a pretty easy modification to make to your setup, via whatever process you use to change modules.conf or the alsa configs on your distro. >> >>rosegarden does not depend on kde, but it does depend on kdelibs and >> parts >>of kdemultimedia. >> >> > I'd reinstall it / all, to test further.. > > But it was leaving an un-^C-able (start sequencer) process, so I biffed > it. > Like I said, no midi modules==no sequencer. > Rik >
