Video problems
From the boot: prompt, try:
* xorgmusix
* videovesa
* fb1024x768
* failsafe
* And another cheatcodes Also, note that you must add your language, for instance: lang=en: * xorgmusix lang=en
If this boot argument does not solves your video problems, when you had booted, you can try this into a root console:
videoconfig
-
Another method:
- type into a terminal
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back
- type into a terminal
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Now start the desktop: starten, or kdm
Good luck!, if your settings aren't better, just restore the backup:
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Rosegarden4 1.2.3 problems
- Close rosegarden
Well, remove those files:
rm -f -r ~/.kde/share/apps/rosegarden4/*
rm -f -r ~/.kde/share/config/rosegarden*
- Restart Rosegarden
- Please report: marcospcmusica # gmail.com
Damaged CD?
After the CD image download please execute as root superuser:
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0x5320454D [ENTER]
This is for receive key from the server to verify the CD image. After execute follow:
gpg --verify [file.sig] [file.iso]
Also can use graphical gpg cliente like Seahorse or Kgpg.
Server to download key is: pgp.mit.edu
md5 Method
After the CD image download, please execute as root superuser:
Musix 0.39
Type into a terminal something like this:
md5sum musix-0.39.iso
And you must see:
0772769d6454be5b49ac300f6d8c9774
If it brings another number, your ISO file is damaged, please download it again.

USB MIDI Devices
M-Audio USB MIDI
I dont really know about all the MIDI USB devices in the world, but I am sure about this ones from M-Audio (midiman) (1)
- This USB MIDI interfaces are supported by ALSA and don't need non-free firmware:
M Audio USB MidiSport Duo
M Audio USB MidiSport Quatro
MidiSport 2x4 (3)
Newer KeyStation models (49e, 61es, Pro 88)
If you need GPL (free software!) firmware for USB MIDI ALSA drivers for this devices, please write to info@m-audio.com a mail like this one
- This USB MIDI interfaces are supported by OSS (Open Sound System) drivers and don't need non-free firmware:
- MidiSportUNO (Midiman) : operational (= 1x1)
- MidiSport1x1 (Midiman) : operational
- MidiSport2x2 (Midiman) : operational
- USB-2-MIDI (Steinberg) : operational (= 2x2)
- MidiSport4x4 (Midiman) : first two ports operational, no leds, work in progress
- MidiSport8x8 (Midiman) : unknown, perhaps like 4x4
They have GPL firmware, the project is called EZ USB, and the authors are:
- Lars Doelle <lars.doelle on-line.de> (Original author of the firmware and current maintainer)
- NAGANO Daisuke <breeze.nagano nifty.ne.jp (Original author of the usb-midi oss driver and contributor of the Midisport 2x2 material)
- Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas <plcl telefonica.net> (Codevelopment and testing of the driver and firmware. Author of the regression test suit.)
See: EZ USB Install instructions under Musix 0.49
Also, there is a package that contains non-free firmware to support other similar devices (we will try to make the free software):
"The project page is <http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/>. For help, discussion or feedback, send a mail to the mailing list at <usb-midi-fw-user@lists.sourceforge.net>.written by Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de>"
