Package: timidity Version: 2.13.2-40.1 Severity: important Hi,
I have a rather standard GNOME desktop installation, pulseaudio is *not* running system wide, which is the default configuration for pulseaudio. When I try to start timidity via "/etc/init.d/timidity start" it seems to report success: # /etc/init.d/timidity start [ ok ] Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation.... but afterwards timidity is not running. The first bug here is, that the initscript doesn't report an error. I've checked the log files, and all I could find is this: 2012-11-26T00:01:53.517883+01:00 pluto pulseaudio[12033]: [pulseaudio] authkey.c: Failed to open cookie file '/etc/timidity/.pulse-cookie': No such file or directory 2012-11-26T00:01:53.517930+01:00 pluto pulseaudio[12033]: [pulseaudio] authkey.c: Failed to load authorization key '/etc/timidity/.pulse-cookie': No such file or directory 2012-11-26T00:01:53.518467+01:00 pluto pulseaudio[12033]: [pulseaudio] client-conf-x11.c: xcb_connection_has_error() returned true 2012-11-26T00:01:53.518664+01:00 pluto pulseaudio[12033]: [autospawn] core-util.c: Home directory /etc/timidity not ours. 2012-11-26T00:01:53.518691+01:00 pluto pulseaudio[12033]: [autospawn] lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock. 2012-11-26T00:01:53.518788+01:00 pluto pulseaudio[12033]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to acquire autospawn lock Imho the default configuration of timidity should work out of the box or otherwise the daemon should be disabled by default. As README.Debian mentions something about starting timidity in the user session, I tried (using the same command line parameters as the system-wide process) $ timidity -Os -iAD Requested buffer size 32768, fragment size 8192 ALSA pcm 'default' set buffer size 32768, period size 8192 bytes TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: Permission denied error in snd_seq_open Now I'm stuck. It would be great if timidity had a better out-of-the-box experience or better documentation how it is supposed to be used.
