Hi all, For those who seem to be interested in UBUNTU/DEMUDI, here are some steps that I resolved and some others where I'm blocking. I'm new in Linux/audio. For a first time with I would like to record my bass with rosegarden and play drums with hydrogen. My card : maudio 1010 LT which don't have Synth Support under ALSA $kinfocenter Synth devices : NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG >> KERNEL ..... OK In the file /etc/apt/sources.list, add : deb http://demudi.agnula.org/packages/demudi stable main In a terminal : $apt-get update $apt-cache search kernel $apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.12-2-multimedia-386 $apt-get install kernel-patch-2.6-realtime-lsm >> MODULES ..... OK (except virmidi) In a terminal : $lsmod |grep snd You need to have : snd_seq_midi .......... OK snd_seq_midi_event .... OK snd_seq ............... OK snd_rawmidi ........... OK snd_timer ............. OK snd ................... OK soundcore ............. OK snd_virmidi realtime If you don't have one, execute "modprobe" in a terminal. For example : $modprobe snd_virmidi FATAL: Error inserting snd_virmidi (/lib/modules/2.6.12-2-multimedia-386/kernel/sound/drivers/snd-virmidi.ko): No such device It was OK with ubuntu kernel !!! $modprobe realtime any=1 >> ALSA $apt-cache search alsaconf $apt-get install alsa-utils Then you have $alsaconf $alsamixer $alsactl >> JACKD ..... OK $apt-cache search jackd $apt-get install jackd >> QJACKCTL ..... OK $apt-cache search qjackctl $apt-get install qjackctl Set qjackctl with jackd, not with jackstart with jackstart : #12:12:42.618 Patchbay deactivated. #12:12:42.906 Statistics reset. #12:12:42.980 MIDI connection graph change. #12:12:43.114 MIDI connection change. #12:12:45.920 Startup script... #12:12:45.921 artsshell -q terminate #12:12:46.252 Startup script terminated with exit status=256. #12:12:46.252 JACK is starting... #12:12:46.253 /usr/bin/jackstart -R -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000 -p2048 -n2 #12:12:46.256 JACK was started with PID=7553 (0x1d81). #jackstart: cannot get realtime capabilities, current capabilities are: # =ep cap_setpcap-e # probably running under a kernel with capabilities disabled, # a suitable kernel would have printed something like "=eip" #12:12:46.263 JACK was stopped with exit status=1. #12:12:48.268 Could not connect to JACK server as client. >> ... and then I can run HYDROGEN to use rosegarden, I need >> QSynth first >> and then ROSEGARDEN I import some hydrogen samples in rosegarden, and I don't have any sound. Does somebody have an idea ??? May be this is the virmidi module which is not loaded ? Best regards, Benjamin
