Unidentified subject!
I would like to change which controllers my disks are on, but when I do my system no longer boots. I have three ide drives on hde, hdi, and hdk. My main system is completely on hdk. I boot into hdk. If I move the other two drives I can no longer boot into hdk. Depending on where I move the other drives I get one of two results when I try to boot into hdk again. 1. Usually I get 'L 01 01 01 01 01 01...' Repeating O1's forever. For instance, this happens if I simply remove one of the other two drives. According to the lilo users guide "this shouldn't happen" 2. Sometimes I get "Not a System Disk", that is, I don't even get lilo started. For instance, this happens if I move hde->hdi and hdi->hda. hde and hdg are an off board promise controller. I would like to remove this controller, but without it my system will not boot. I realize that once I get this working I will need to modify /etc/fstab.

Re: system logs not getting rotated
Thanks. With your help I have found what the problem *is*. Now I'd like to know *why* and *how* the problem came to be. The cron.daily/sysklogd script passes the argument 'reload-or-restart' to /etc/init.d/sysklogd *however* that is not one of the options in the case statement. There are only a 'reload|force-reload' and a 'restart'. The cron.daily/sysklogd script was getting a usage message which went to the bit bucket. I have never manually edited *any* of these scripts. Any changes have been done via apt-get. Woody needs to be checked to verify that the problem doesn't still exist. On Sun, Apr 07, 2002 at 12:54:20PM -0500, Mark S.

apache/php...feeling like an idiot
so, in attempts to learn some things, I want to get the seemingly standard apache/php/mysql trio on my box all playing nicely. I now have mysql on pretty peachy, and apache seems to spew out the html documents I want. I have apt-got php4 and php4-mysql and a couple other things as well. However, if I try to get my apache server to serve up a php file, all the browsers I've tried pop-up a "file save as" screen wanting me to download this file. I believe there is something goofy in my /etc/apache/httpd.conf file in that I am not loading some modules the right way. To get this working, 1) which modules need to be loaded for apache to work like it should with php? 2) once the proper changes are made to the httpd.conf file, how do I "activate" my changes? 3) is the problem not in the httpd.conf file? 4) is there something I need to apt-get that would have configured this correctly "out-of-the-box" (during the apt-getting installation?)

I've asked for help on this to another group and hope I'm not cross posting to early but it's Sunday and I would really like my mutt back as I have to type a bunch of emails tonight. (this message brought to you by mozilla - there's not a way to incorporate VI into Mozilla is there?) Basically what's going on is exim is not sending mail and is not giving me any error messages except for in the logs. For a while I thought every one was getting my email. Problems started a week ago or so when I did some apt-get/deselect update and I think a reboot. Perhaps something I changed a long time ago got changed on the reboot. Once exim told me that it cannot send my mail because "no space left on device". There was ample room on /var and /var/spool . The first thing i did was 'ln -s /var/spool /freepartition' ... ended up unlinking it and somehow I did not get that error message any more but got some permissions denied ... checked permissions and changed the exim stuff to mail:mail (it was root:root) Then mail was working again. Never inquired why it said there was no disk space when there was ample room. --- Now no mail gets sent. Mutt tells me "message sent" no errors nothing in my default mbox mail was not sent checking /var/log/exim/mainlog I see at a rate of about 60/second is inputed a ton of: 2002-04-07 17:40:12 16kWfM-0004qW-00 Message is frozen checking /var/spool/exim/msglog is a bunch of files that read like: 16uGYF-0007NJ-00 'less 16uGYF-0007NJ-00' returns 2002-04-07 10:34:04 directing failed for [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: unknown local-part "joeheuring" in domain "cox.net" *** Frozen (delivery error message) I'm not sure what exim is trying to do here.

Ultra 5
Hi all! I just started using Debian. I am trying to install debian on Sun Ultra 5 machine. I tried 3 different ways to install it but could'nt: 1) I downloaded the CD images. I tried to burn it on CDs but the images seem to be larger than the CD size. So, I could'nt burn the CDs. 2) Then I downloaded just the minimal CD image and burnt it on a CD. Then I inserted the CD into the CDROM drive and used the command $> boot cdrom to boot from the CD, but I am getting the error "Bad magic number on disk label". So, I could'nt boot from the CDROM 3) Then I downloaded the floppy image (rescue.bin and driver-1.bin) and tried to copy them onto floppies. But again the same space problem. The files are larger than the floppy disk size. Also from the documentation, I could understand that we cant boot from floppy drive in case of Ultra sparcs. Any suggestions? I think many of you were able to burn it onto CDs and floppies? thanks for your help, Aravind -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hmm...'coz I've never used it? The bits of module configuration I'd like to get at: - Identifying what modules you need. Typically: controllers, filesystems, networking, etc. - Making sure the modules are included with your kernel. My understanding is that most Debian kernel images are fairly kitchen sink, so the problem is minimized here. Rolling your own is a different story. - Getting the modules loaded at boot or when needed for a device / function.

I'm not very familiar with the protocol for asking debian package maintainers to change things. What would it take to have the Soundtracker, Ecasound and Timidity debian packages converted to alsa 0.9.x? In genreal, it would really be beneficial to the usability of debian for working with sound if the audio apps packages in the distribution were to move away from alsa 0.5.x. As I understand it alsa 0.9.x should be considered the mainstream release and 0.5.x should only be kept around for historical reference. I know this isn't a good short term solution to Juha Erkkila's problem, but for the longterm it is the way things ought to go, IMHO. -Eric Rz. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I know you think it's desperate, but please think a bit about your subject lines. I nearly deleted it out of hand, and by the looks of things everyone else has already. You could try 'linux -single' at the lilo prompt and hope that it doesn't start up samba in single user mode (it certainly shouldn't). You can then remove the items in /etc/rc?.d that start samba. This should (hopefully) give you a system that boots, unless there is some underlying thing that is wrong, in which case it may not.

This starts up with the bare minimum of stuff running (ie it doesn't get to runlevel 2). From here you can check the syslog to find out what's causing the problem or disable possible culprits (I'd guess at whatever starts up after Samba). To boot into single user mode type 'linux single' at the lilo prompt (if thats what your using) or the debian install disk can be used to rescue the system. I can't remember the syntax for the rescue disk but it does explain in the messages that appear on screen (there was also an email today which explained how to do this but I've deleted it already :-( ).

You can start to disable the starting of samba in /etc/rc.d/ booting in single mode and then you should boot successfully (if the problem is only samba) and you can investigate the problem.

If I understand your problem correctly, the mail _is_ sent with the
right sender name, but in the list of emails you don't get "Matthew
Daubenspeck", but instead "to [EMAIL PROTECTED]". So it's purely a
display problem.
mutt has a configuration variable that determines how the message list
is displayed. By default, it contains %L, which will display the name of
the mailing list the mail was sent to[1], or the author name, or the
recipient if the author is yourself. So, any mail you send will always
show as "to something". To always show the contents of the From: line,
you would have to change the %L to %n, which shows the author's name, or
the address if there is no name. To change just that, put
set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15n (%4l) %s"
in your .muttrc
You can find more about this at
http://mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html#index_format
HTH
[1] To have this work, you have to have to tell mutt the names of the
list you post to or are subscribed to.

Re: SV: Tekram 315U PCI
Hi! OK, now here is the explanation on the kernel configuration and compilation. If you have problems with getting the packages required, you can write me. 1.) The following packages should be installed: libncurses4-dev or libncurses-dev or libncurses5-dev; kernel-package, binutils, bin86, make , a gcc package (gcc, gcc-2.95, g++, g++-2.95) and all packages these ones depend on. (dunno if I'm missing anything here; if the compilation scripts complain about a missing file, you can search for the appropriate package at http://packages.debian.org (use the search form at the bottom). 2.) You now need kernel sources. Firstly, look around which kernel version you have by "dmesg |more". This command will show you the kernel output from tehe startup, and you'll see if your kernel is version 2.2.x or 2.4.x (or if it's very old, 2.0.x). The kernel sources package you'll have to install depend on the distro you have and what kernel you have now: If you have the potato (stable/2.2) distribution and... ... kernel 2.0.x, install kernel-source-2.0.38 ... kernel 2.2.x, install kernel-source-2.2.19 If you have the testing distribution and... ... kernel 2.2.x, install kernel-source-2.2.20 ... kernel 2.4.x, install kernel-source-2.4.18 if you do not have one of these packages, install the most recent kernel-source 2.x.y package available, where x must be the same number which is in your running kernel, y is the higehest number which you have a package for. 3.) Now, go (that means cd, most the work is done on a console!!!) to /usr/src/ . There you'll find a file named kernel-source-2.x.y.tar.bz2 or (...).gz Now, uncompress this package, by tar xzf .gz or by tar xjf .bz2 ; this depends on how your sources are compressed. With older tar programs, you must use xIf (where I is a capital "i") instead of xjf. The kernel-sources are now uncompressed; you'll find a new directory under /usr/src with the kernel insinde; now create a symbolic link named linux in /usr/src, which points onto the kernel directory to do this, do the following: cd /usr/src ln -s linux 4.) Install the tekram315 patches. For getting the newest patch, download http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/dc395/dc395-138.tar.gz into the /usr/src dir and uncompress it by tar xzf. Now, go into /usr/src/dc395 and do the following copy actions: cp -p dc395x_trm.* /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/ cp -p READ* /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/ and now the patching: cd /usr/src/linux patch -p1 < /usr/src/dc395/dc395-integ2x.diff where x stands for the second number in your kernel version (0,2,4). Patch will tell you if it was successful, if errors have occured only while patching readme files or not at all, it will probably work. 5.) Go into /usr/src/linux and call: make-kpkg --config menuconfig --bzimage binary-arch This will start kernel-configuration and compilation. You can now choose, which drivers should be built into your selfmade kernel. There are two different ways of loading drivers in linux: Either, they are compiled directly into the kernel, or they are compiled as modules. Modules are drivers which can be loaded while the system is running; the kernel even can load modules it needs dynamically. I personally would choose to build all important drivers directly into the kernel when doing a compile for the first time, because you won't have to care about loading modules then. Attention: Don't ever compile the ext2 filesystem driver as a module. This leads to a chicken-egg-problem: The kernel cannot load the filesystem where the modules are on and you can only boot by bootdisk/boot-cd. Compile it straight into the kernel! Cause it would be too long if I would explain the whole configuration here, I'll only give some hints; carefully walk through the menus and choose the options, many also have a help text: You'll need to enable "Experimental or new drivers" because the realtek driver is "new" if you're using a 2.2 kernel. Enabling or switching options to "compile as module" (M) works with the whitespace key. Also enable _all three options_ under "loadable module support". For the Realtek card, use the "8139too" driver, if you have a 8139 chip. For the Tekram, use "DC395/U/UW and DC315/U support" under SCSI->SCSI low level drivers under SCSI, of course, CDROM support etc. must be enabled Switch on /dev/agppart under "Character Devices", if available. For the Logitech mouse and keyboard, you'll need the ps2 mouse driver or an usb hid (human interface devices) driver with mouse/kb option (depends on if this kb/mouse is usb) enabled. The USB HID driver and the USB scanner/printer drivers depend on the USB-UHCI /OHCI driver (depends on chipset, for via/intel choose UHCI). After you'll have left the menu and have saved the config, make-kpkg will compile kernel and modules and headers into two .deb packages in /usr/src. Now, install them by: cd /usr/src dpkg -i kern*.deb You'll be asked a few questions, and the kernel will be copied to /boot/vmlinuz- or so, a lin

Your config file lacks any specification of video timings, eg it only says that your monitor is capable of doing 43-75 Hz vertical, but does not specify which of these frequencies should be used. You could try copying above modeline to it, if your videocard's clock can run at 50.69 MHz. This might give you 50MHz/800=60kHz horizontal and 60kHz/600=100Hz vertical.

Please set your mailer/editor linewrap to 68-75 characters. I strongly recommend 72 as a good default. Thank you.

I think its because chroot is the _only_ way to install Gentoo. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/build.html They also have an altinstall page where you can install from a single floppy and NFS. The instructions on how to use mount -o loop for a cd are really useful if you only have an iso image. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/altinstall.html In a lot of ways, Gentoo has a site that has more useful tutorials and tips than most Linux resources because their lead developer does them for IBM. http://www.gentoo.org/index-articles.html is well worth a visit. BTW, I stopped using Gentoo after a week or so. It is a lovely distro and portage has the potential to be as good as dpkg. Its very modern and up to date - having a small developer and small number of apps helps them a lot. But Debian is better in that its more solid (Gentoo installs seem to work when the mood takes them or else just chew up your cpu for a couple of hours before bombing out). I run a mix of testing/unstable and it seems like only a couple of hours from things being released by Ximian or whoever. And you get all the compiling from source benefits as well with the deb-src things. I only wish that I could get the apt-get source only things to stick. I used it for a few apps only to have them overwritten by binaries on my next apt-get update && apt-get upgrade.

If that means that you're certain you're running something older than Woody, then I'd suggest you upgrade to Woody before you do anything else.

It would be nice if you could mention some of the other aproaches, like netinstall and give a link to the iso. Oh, and I myself are very carefull in my examples to use a telling prompt. In your code below you stick to `$ ' as prompt even when one clearly has to be root for the command to work. I would suggest to use `# ' there and use `###' to begin a comment.

sequencers in Debian Woody
i'm terribly sorry for the re-post, but i just realized i subscribe from LAU with different email-address, and thus this email didn't get through.. (and i even cross-post... argh) -- hello Linux audio users and fellow debianists about a month ago i upgraded my system from Debian Potato to Woody, looking forward to see all the interesting sound applications people have been writing, and which ones of those have been packaged for Debian. overall, i've been fairly happy with them, with the exception of all the four sequencers in Woody: Sted2, Rosegarden, Brahms and Muse i hope i'm not expecting too much from any of these: all i want to do is to record my playing from the midi-keyboard while using Timidity as a soft synth, and then being able to save my playing as a midi-file. my Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] sound card doesn't have a built-in synth, so i have to use Timidity (or something similar). my midi-keyboard is known as "MK-61 midi keyboard controller", with 15-pin "midi port", connected to the soundcard that also feeds power to the keyboard there doesn't appear to be any hardware problem, as i can do 'cat /dev/sequencer' and i get some output, "test audio and midi" in PD assures me that at least PD can read my midi-keyboard correctly, and (more convincingly) 'timidity -iA -B 2,8 -Os && aconnect 64:0 128:0' enables me to drive Timidity with the keyboard. yet despite these i'm still unable to do any midi-recording with any of these sequencers while rendering my playing with Timidity some info on my configurations: i'm using 2.4.18 kernel and i've tried using both ALSA 0.5.12a-2 and 0.9+0beta10-6. my /etc/alsa/modutils/0.5 and /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 are identical: --cut-- # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 0.4.3b --- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ens1371 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=2 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0 options snd-card-ens1371 snd_index=0 snd_id=ENSONIQ # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # virtual midi: alias snd-card-1 snd-card-virmidi alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 options snd-card-virmidi snd_index=1 snd_id=VIRTUAL_MIDI --cut-- okay, here's my experiences with all these four sequencers: Sted2 (2.07m+20010303-3) [ALSA 0.5 and 0.9]: (note: Sted2 has to be patched or run as 'LC_CTYPE=C sted2' or something similar in a scandanavian environment when using X.) i have configured it with a line 'player=1,timidity -id -f -EFchorus=0 -EFreverb=0 -s44.1 -Os' in /etc/sted2/sted2.cnf, and it can load and play midi-files without a problem. while using either the default setting or 'midi_port=/dev/sequencer', it informs me with 'MIDI IN : midi' in the main screen. after choosing a track and while trying to record into it, it responds to my first keyboard press with a ticking metronome. i hit my keyboard but no sound comes out nor actual recording happens. i can stop this by pressing reset. during this so-called recording sted2 consumes all the CPU power available. the track remains empty, even though i tried switching recording channels, output mode (thru/off) and sync (int/ext). with 'midi_port=/dev/midi' it tells me 'MIDI IN : NoConnect' and doesn't react at all Rosegarden (2.1pl3-1) [both 0.5 and 0.9]: quite like Sted2. in 'MIDI Setup' it prefers /dev/sequencer. i can start Timidity in the background as ALSA sequencer interface mode, and direct the playing into Timidity port 0. the playing works without much problems (there may be some caused by bad latencies). when trying to record from "MIDI 0-0", it just hangs and i have to kill the sequencer process. switching MIDI 0-0 to "Timidity port 0" doesn't help either Brahms (1.02-3) [ALSA 0.5]: documentation says that only version of ALSA it can be run with is 0.5.x. when run with 'brahms -o alsa', i cannot choose any options for the output of the tracks, and when trying to play an imported midi-file brahms doesn't indicate it's going forward. when trying to record nothing moves forward Brahms [ALSA 0.9]: the binary uses the libasound.so.2 -shared library, suggesting it needs something from ALSA 0.9 (?), so i gave it a try. it does run, but behaves just like with ALSA 0.5 Brahms [libarts-alsa & ALSA 0.9]: i can record and play with this, using arts instruments as synths. nice, promising, but ready-made arts instruments sound horrible, and i haven't yet bothered to look artsbuilder. is there a way to connect this to Timidity? (Timidity is of version 2.10.4-2.2, and it doesn't have arts-plugin) Muse (0.5.2-1) [ALSA 0.5]: the binaries in Debian won't work with ALSA 0.5, and there doesn't appear to be a command line option to switch to use OSS-emulation Muse [ALSA

Reducing font size in X
Dear group - I have just installed a Sid box supposed to run only X and Galeon. I found that the default install leves me with rather large fonts for the applications. I recall having solved this before by exchanging the FontPath for 100dpi and 75dpi in XF86Config. Now I have tried this again without success. I have noticed a new FontPath on top of the config file: FontPath "unix/:7100" I suppose this has something to do with it (in fact I am sure, if I comment that line, things work as expected). Can someone point me to the mechanism for changing the font size here?

Rick, logrotate has nothing to do with the files you are interested in, as you see from logrotate.conf. Look at your /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd and /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd scripts. They use the /usr/bin/savelog utility to rotate system logs. If log rotation is broken on your system, something must be wrong here. You might want to look at man savelog and man syslogd-listfiles. Do you use exim as MTA? Exim log rotation is handled by /etc/cron.daily/exim, also using savelog. Are your exim logs being rotated okay? If so, you'll have a working log rotation script for comparison. Cordially, Mark S. Reglewski -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I'm fairly sure you need to use 'apt-get dselect-upgrade' (or 'dselect install') to act on what you've set using 'dpkg --set-selections'. The dist-upgrade method makes its own decisions, while dselect-upgrade actually pays attention to what you've just set in /var/lib/dpkg/status.

Since you've already fixed this, I'm just nitpicking. The relevant details here are not the keycodes but the keysyms. Your keyboard generates, in hardware, a number corresponding to each key (= physical piece of plastic) on the board; this number is the keycode. The X server receives this and maps it into a keysym. The server sends the keysym to the application with input focus; apps should never see raw keycodes. (On PC hardware, anyway; not sure about how other systems work off the top of my head.) For this situation, you'd want to see the keys generating keysyms Meta_L and Meta_R. Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Recent Woody ISO

It started well (boot) and we proceeded through the install. Finally, boot options were presented, and we choose the floppy method. This failed each time with known good floppies. I finally pulled a 2.2.r3 out and used it, and finally got the nic working, and performed a dist-upgrade.

sequencers in Debian Woody
hello Linux audio users and fellow debianists about a month ago i upgraded my system from Debian Potato to Woody, looking forward to see all the interesting sound applications people have been writing, and which ones of those have been packaged for Debian. overall, i've been fairly happy with them, with the exception of all the four sequencers in Woody: Sted2, Rosegarden, Brahms and Muse i hope i'm not expecting too much from any of these: all i want to do is to record my playing from the midi-keyboard while using Timidity as a soft synth, and then being able to save my playing as a midi-file. my Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] sound card doesn't have a built-in synth, so i have to use Timidity (or something similar). my midi-keyboard is known as "MK-61 midi keyboard controller", with 15-pin "midi port", connected to the soundcard that also feeds power to the keyboard there doesn't appear to be any hardware problem, as i can do 'cat /dev/sequencer' and i get some output, "test audio and midi" in PD assures me that at least PD can read my midi-keyboard correctly, and (more convincingly) 'timidity -iA -B 2,8 -Os && aconnect 64:0 128:0' enables me to drive Timidity with the keyboard. yet despite these i'm still unable to do any midi-recording with any of these sequencers while rendering my playing with Timidity some info on my configurations: i'm using 2.4.18 kernel and i've tried using both ALSA 0.5.12a-2 and 0.9+0beta10-6. my /etc/alsa/modutils/0.5 and /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 are identical: --cut-- # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 0.4.3b --- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ens1371 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=2 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0 options snd-card-ens1371 snd_index=0 snd_id=ENSONIQ # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # virtual midi: alias snd-card-1 snd-card-virmidi alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 options snd-card-virmidi snd_index=1 snd_id=VIRTUAL_MIDI --cut-- okay, here's my experiences with all these four sequencers: Sted2 (2.07m+20010303-3) [ALSA 0.5 and 0.9]: (note: Sted2 has to be patched or run as 'LC_CTYPE=C sted2' or something similar in a scandanavian environment when using X.) i have configured it with a line 'player=1,timidity -id -f -EFchorus=0 -EFreverb=0 -s44.1 -Os' in /etc/sted2/sted2.cnf, and it can load and play midi-files without a problem. while using either the default setting or 'midi_port=/dev/sequencer', it informs me with 'MIDI IN : midi' in the main screen. after choosing a track and while trying to record into it, it responds to my first keyboard press with a ticking metronome. i hit my keyboard but no sound comes out nor actual recording happens. i can stop this by pressing reset. during this so-called recording sted2 consumes all the CPU power available. the track remains empty, even though i tried switching recording channels, output mode (thru/off) and sync (int/ext). with 'midi_port=/dev/midi' it tells me 'MIDI IN : NoConnect' and doesn't react at all Rosegarden (2.1pl3-1) [both 0.5 and 0.9]: quite like Sted2. in 'MIDI Setup' it prefers /dev/sequencer. i can start Timidity in the background as ALSA sequencer interface mode, and direct the playing into Timidity port 0. the playing works without much problems (there may be some caused by bad latencies). when trying to record from "MIDI 0-0", it just hangs and i have to kill the sequencer process. switching MIDI 0-0 to "Timidity port 0" doesn't help either Brahms (1.02-3) [ALSA 0.5]: documentation says that only version of ALSA it can be run with is 0.5.x. when run with 'brahms -o alsa', i cannot choose any options for the output of the tracks, and when trying to play an imported midi-file brahms doesn't indicate it's going forward. when trying to record nothing moves forward Brahms [ALSA 0.9]: the binary uses the libasound.so.2 -shared library, suggesting it needs something from ALSA 0.9 (?), so i gave it a try. it does run, but behaves just like with ALSA 0.5 Brahms [libarts-alsa & ALSA 0.9]: i can record and play with this, using arts instruments as synths. nice, promising, but ready-made arts instruments sound horrible, and i haven't yet bothered to look artsbuilder. is there a way to connect this to Timidity? (Timidity is of version 2.10.4-2.2, and it doesn't have arts-plugin) Muse (0.5.2-1) [ALSA 0.5]: the binaries in Debian won't work with ALSA 0.5, and there doesn't appear to be a command line option to switch to use OSS-emulation Muse [ALSA 0.9]: i can create a track, add iiwu-1 instance to soft synths -list, add it to a midi-port table and then i have to switch device name to MIDI 0-0 so that i can mark it as a recording sour
