Hrm, I clearly filed this against the wrong package, I should have filed against mozplugger ... since it's mozplugger's config file setting the wrong option.
** Description changed: Installed timidity and mozplugger in order to play midi files like the ones found at: - http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/lyrics/whistle.htm + http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/lyrics/whistle.htm However timidity was failing to play sounds because it was configured to use - -Od (directly writing to /dev/dsp) + -Od (directly writing to /dev/dsp) The setting appears on line 9 in: /etc/mozpluggerrc.d/61-audio.conf - 8 audio/x-midi:midi,mid:MIDI audio file - 9 controls noisy stream: timidity -Od "$file" - 10 controls: playmidi "$file" + 8 audio/x-midi:midi,mid:MIDI audio file + 9 controls noisy stream: timidity -Od "$file" + 10 controls: playmidi "$file" On a modern Ubuntu system /dev/dsp is taken by PulseAudio. I found that by removing the -Od timidity would try a alternatives to /dev/dsp that worked. So I've removed -Od and ran update-mozpluggerrc to regenerate the system-wide config file in /etc/mozpluggerrc ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 - Date: Sun Jul 10 21:45:58 2011 + Date: Sun Jul 10 22:06:48 2011 Dependencies: coreutils 8.5-1ubuntu6 debconf 1.5.36ubuntu4 debconf-i18n 1.5.36ubuntu4 - debianutils 3.4.3ubuntu1 dpkg 1.16.0~ubuntu7 - esound-common 0.2.41-8 gcc-4.5-base 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 libacl1 2.2.49-4ubuntu2 - libasound2 1.0.24.1-0ubuntu5 libattr1 1:2.4.44-2ubuntu3 - libaudio2 1.9.2-4ubuntu1 - libaudiofile0 0.2.6-8ubuntu1 libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6ubuntu1 libc-bin 2.13-0ubuntu13 libc6 2.13-0ubuntu13 - libdb4.8 4.8.30-5ubuntu2 - libesd0 0.2.41-8 - libexpat1 2.0.1-7ubuntu3 - libflac8 1.2.1-3 libgcc1 1:4.5.2-8ubuntu4 - libice6 2:1.0.7-1ubuntu1 - libjack-jackd2-0 1.9.6~dfsg.1-5ubuntu1 liblocale-gettext-perl 1.05-6 liblzma2 5.0.0-2 - libncurses5 5.7+20101128-1 - libncursesw5 5.7+20101128-1 - libogg0 1.2.0~dfsg-1 - libpam-modules 1.1.2-2ubuntu8 - libpam-modules-bin 1.1.2-2ubuntu8 - libpam0g 1.1.2-2ubuntu8 - libpng12-0 1.2.44-1ubuntu3 - libpython2.7 2.7.1-5ubuntu2 - libreadline6 6.2-0ubuntu1 libselinux1 2.0.96-1ubuntu2 - libsm6 2:1.2.0-1ubuntu1 - libsqlite3-0 3.7.4-2ubuntu5 - libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-5ubuntu1 - libstdc++6 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 libtext-charwidth-perl 0.04-6 libtext-iconv-perl 1.7-2 libtext-wrapi18n-perl 0.06-7 - libuuid1 2.17.2-9.1ubuntu4 - libvorbis0a 1.3.2-1ubuntu1 - libvorbisenc2 1.3.2-1ubuntu1 libx11-6 2:1.4.2-1ubuntu3 libx11-data 2:1.4.2-1ubuntu3 libxau6 1:1.0.6-1ubuntu1 - libxaw7 2:1.0.9-2 libxcb1 1.7-2ubuntu2 libxdmcp6 1:1.1.0-1ubuntu1 - libxext6 2:1.2.0-2ubuntu1 - libxmu6 2:1.1.0-1 - libxpm4 1:3.5.9-1ubuntu1 - libxt6 1:1.0.9-1ubuntu1 - lsb-base 4.0-0ubuntu11 - mime-support 3.51-1ubuntu1 + m4 1.4.14-3 multiarch-support 2.13-0ubuntu13 - ncurses-bin 5.7+20101128-1 - passwd 1:4.1.4.2+svn3283-3ubuntu1 perl-base 5.10.1-17ubuntu4.1 - python2.7 2.7.1-5ubuntu2 - python2.7-minimal 2.7.1-5ubuntu2 - readline-common 6.2-0ubuntu1 - sed 4.2.1-8 - sensible-utils 0.0.6ubuntu2 tzdata 2011g-0ubuntu0.11.04 - x11-common 1:7.6+4ubuntu3 xz-utils 5.0.0-2 zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu3 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia - Package: timidity 2.13.2-39build1 + Package: mozplugger 1.14.3-1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 - SourcePackage: timidity + SourcePackage: mozplugger Tags: natty Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-05-10 (61 days ago) ** Package changed: timidity (Ubuntu) => mozplugger (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/808610 Title: timidity should not default to using /dev/dsp directly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozplugger/+bug/808610/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
