Public bug reported:
Frescobaldi (as for version 2.18.1+ds1-2ubuntu) on Ubuntu 15.10 often
fails to detect Midi devices. In such cases Midi playback fails to run.
*Analysis:
It appears that Midi playback relies on various Midi Python packages not
available in Python3. It provides a bridge to libportmidi0 (ctypes_pypm.py and
pm_ctypes.py).
This bridge is ineffective if libportmidi0 is not installed.
*Workaround:
When installing Frescobaldi, install libportmidi0 too.
>sudo apt-get install libportmidi0
*Correction suggestion:
Add the libportmidi0 package in the dependecy list of package frescobaldi.
Note :
When users struggle to solve this problem, they often install various Midi
related packages. They end up with libportmidi0 package installed.
