[PlanetCCRMA] Rosegarden 0.9.91 hangs

Tue Feb 1 06:07:03 2005

Thanks for the answer!

I've been poking around a bit, but my problem is that this area is 
mostly unknown to me. Do you know some site that might have an overview 
of how the different parts tie together? I'm thinking of things that I 
can look for in the filesystem or in configuration files and so on.

I think this is the problem. There is no /dev/snd/seq (I suspect that to 
be the correct device name for the sequencer). I suppose some module 
isn't loaded for some reason, but how do I go about finding out why? 
Maybe I could load the module manually to see whether there is a 
problem; I would need to know the name of that module though.

I tried that, but the result is the same. I tried to start jack and 
rosegarden as root, just to see if it is a privilige problem, but no 
difference. I've included this new output at the end.

I read in a post somwhere that there are (were) some problems with alsa, 
kernel 2.6.10 and udev. Could this be the reason to these problems? I do 
not know what the problems were.
