Testing distros like Tumbleweed are definitely not something I would fool with. RG is a fringe app, so it's unlikely it will work in cutting-edge distros. You made a very thorough description of installing midi-related software in your tutorial! Still I don't get RG to work on TW correctly after reading and applying it. I'm curious at what point did things not work? Did fluidsynth come up OK and play a MIDI file directly? What about JACK? But I did manage to get RG working on my son's laptop, and that is what was important to me; he needs it for his piano lessons. Hope he enjoys. So I'd say, thanks a lot!, and lets not waste your time on getting it to work on TW. Yeah, probably not worth it for me. However, it would be awfully nice if someone put together some tests for RG on Tumbleweed. Again, we're pretty fringe, though.

[Rosegarden-user] Audio set up
Hi all, I'm new to Rosegarden (RG), and I have trouble to enable audio playback in RG. I realize that I 'm definitely not the first, and I sought and found all kind of solutions, but so far to no effect. My setup: - I'm on opensuse Tumbleweed, a rolling distro which I keep up to date; desktop KDE Frameworks 5.46.0 - from this distro, I have RG 17.12 installed - audio hardware is Xonar Essence STX - I have timidity 2.14 from the distro installed (and use it a lot, to get sound from Frescobaldi, a front end tot Lilypond) - fluidr3_gm.cfg and fluidr3_gs.cfg are installed, and timidity is configured to use them - in /etc/security/limits.conf: @audio soft memlock unlimited I have tried a few ways to start RG: * start timidity -iA, then start RG. o In the Studio->Manage MIDI devices, the correct Timidity port is shown as output; o I load an example (for instance, aveverum.rg) o Track-parameter and Instrument parameter windows now show General Midi, and per track the correct instrument o the sound system of the OS shows the alsa-plugin timidity as an input stream o but no sound when I press "Play" the RG * start qjackctl, then start timidity -iA -Oj, then start RG o the jack server is started (/usr/bin/jackd -r -dalsa -dhw:STX -r48000 -p1024 -n2 -Xseq) o timidity starts with some remarks on the terminal, but keeps runing (which is doesn't when started without the jackd server) + timidity -iA -Oj jack_client_new: deprecated Cannot lock down 86611866 byte memory area (Cannot allocate memory) TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode Opening sequencer port: 130:0 130:1 130:2 130:3 Couldn't start JACK device (`j') Couldn't start JACK device (`j') Couldn't start JACK device (`j') Couldn't start JACK device (`j') o In the Studio->Manage MIDI devices, the correct Timidity port is shown as output; o I load an example (for instance, aveverum.rg) o Track-parameter and Instrument parameter windows now show General Midi, and per track the correct instrument o the sound system of the OS does NOT show anuthing as an input stream o again no sound when I press "Play" the RG I have - apart from numerous other sites - read the postings at https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/483210-Rose-garden-does-not-make-a-sound/ and tried the advises given there (e.g. to stop jackd if RG runs) but they did not help me. It did mention thefact that a short sound is heard when quitting RG, and that's what I experience too. What can I do to make Rosegarden put out sound? regards, Jogchum Reitsma -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot___ Rosegarden-user mailing list Rosegarden-user@lists.sourceforge.net - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
