This morning I tried starting muse from a term window after starting timidity -iA As soon as I try to import a midi file, the muse display starts to lose all its buttons and the menus don't respond and all the areas of the window turn into useless blocks of nonresponsive vague colored areas-- you know the look. I checked the term window for messages and saw only: open projectfile: No such file or directory no JACK audio server found NO Config File </root/.MusE> ALSA: samplerate 44100 not available, using 44099 cca_open_socket: could not connect to host 'localhost', service '14541' cca_init: could not connect to server 'localhost' - disabling ladcca After killing it, I decided to try at least 'touch /root/.MusE' knowing that an empty config file really wasn't going to do the trick, but I thought maybe if there was somewhere for Muse to starting recording settings, that seemed as good as anything. At one point this morning I *did* succeed in getting muse to load the midi file without crashing, even though I still heard nothing. (yes, I've checked my mixer settings--no channels muted, and everything at least at non-zero). This "success" came after messing around with what I think is qjackctl, trying to hook up the ens1371 in the left column with one of the timidity ports in the right column. When I pressed the play button in muse, I could see all these bars for each track moving around, but no sound. Hey, it least it didn't crash utterly that time! I feel like I'm getting warmer somehow... -Mark ===== -- Seek professional help! Ask a librarian. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
