Strictly speaking: no, timidity is not a mandatory dependency of rott. rott can (or should) be able to run without timidity with disabled sound. You can check this by calling "rott nosound" in a terminal, that will start rott without sounds and it shouldnt hang anymore.
I will investigate further and try to fix up the thing if I'll be able to understand it fully - people who know SDL_Mixer are highly wellcome to help :) -- ROTT freezes after a short while https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298992 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
