It is enabled. Maybe I should disable it in /etc/default/timidity. I then would get the "not configured yet" message but who cares? I changed the /etc/init.d/timidity to use jack. Maybe not so smart since jack is not running on startup (another reason to not enable). Did it to use that file manually. With the jack command line, running /etc/init.d/timidity start as root will always fail. Not as root will work. My question is, why start it on upgrade? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
