Just found - .midi files are not playing in Katya (Solved)

[daison]

Ok, I installed Qsynth, Linthesia, Rosengarten... but they playing .midi files with no sound coming out... just silence. In what direction I have to go to hear it? Any ideas?

Rosengarten says, that there is no snd_rtctimer. I was looking for it in synaptic, but with no success. Could it be the only problem, cose I installed Rosengarten with Synaptic and there should be all dependences solved. Synaptic reported me no problems, and now what? - That.

You can try install Timidity.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install timidity

Before run Qsynth, Linthesia, Rosengarten, you can trying to use below code on terminal.

Code: Select all

timidity -iA -Os

Hi, kelebek333! I tried it, but with no success. It says, that timidity is already installed.
Here, what I got in terminal:

dais@dais-Compaq ~ $ sudo apt-get install timidity
[sudo] password for dais:

Mr. remoulder, I started to read this ubuntuforum, didn't got anything working yet, but I'm on a beginning of all this mess.

Thank you, guys for replies.

Yeeh, I'm tired of looking a remedy for all this. In ubuntuforums case was with timidity working in command line mode, but in my case I can't hear anything running timidity from command line, so all the rest is useless. I read timidity docs and I think, that I know it for sure now. There should be something else omho. Any ideas?

[daison]

O! Finally I got it working! First, I find, that my timidity is working, just I never used it like I should from command line. Mint IRC channel helped me a lot in that (special thanks to oOze). After that I followed mr. remoulder s link to ubuntuforum, did like they said and voila!
