by Peter Smith 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Hi, I am traying to modified and play some midi music in my linux box, I have seen JAZZ may be a great option to do this so I decided to install it and use it, I have been able to modified the midi files but I cant play the files. I have to use Kmid from kde to play them. I have installed SuSE Linux 7.1 ,Kernel 2.2.18 Alsa drivers (modules) ENS1371 -> Sound Blaster PCI 128 and the computer is: AMD K7 850 mhz, 128 MB RAM JAZZ version: JAZZ++ version 4.1.7 Executing JAZZ When I look in the track window menu in Settings/Midi Device: the input device is: External MIDI 0 MIDI 0-0 the output devive is: External MIDI 0 MIDI 0-0 I think in the output device there should be another option like sound card midi. here is a layout of lsmod : Module Size Used by ppp_deflate 40352 0 (autoclean) bsd_comp 4080 0 (autoclean) ppp 21232 1 (autoclean) [ppp_deflate bsd_comp] slhc 4448 0 (autoclean) [ppp] snd-pcm-oss 18288 0 (autoclean) snd-pcm-plugin 14032 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-mixer-oss 4544 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-seq-midi 4144 2 (autoclean) snd-seq-midi-event 2896 0 (autoclean) [snd-seq-midi] snd-card-ens1371 2176 2 (autoclean) snd-ens1371 12880 0 (autoclean) [snd-card-ens1371] snd-pcm 35296 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-ens1371] snd-rawmidi 10624 2 (autoclean) [snd-seq-midi snd-ens1371] snd-ac97-codec 27168 0 (autoclean) [snd-ens1371] snd-mixer 28624 0 (autoclean) [snd-mixer-oss snd-ens1371 snd-ac97-codec] snd-seq 42912 1 (autoclean) [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event] snd-timer 10688 1 (autoclean) [snd-pcm snd-seq] snd-seq-device 4080 0 (autoclean) [snd-seq-midi snd-rawmidi snd-seq] snd 43632 4 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-card-ens1371 snd-ens1371 snd-pcm snd-rawmidi snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer snd-seq snd-timer snd-seq-device] soundcore 2576 5 (autoclean) [snd] ipv6 100080 -1 (autoclean) ne 6544 2 (autoclean) 8390 6272 0 (autoclean) [ne] may be you could help me, thanks a lot. __________________________________________________ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

by Richard Caldwell 27 May '03

27 May '03

Hi, does anybody know if the following is possible, and what application I could use. Is it possible to make a phone call to a telephone with a PC connected to the internet. e.g. a machine continuously online using adsl or even a dial up connection to an ISP. Can I use my IP connection to make telephone calls anywhere without paying extra for them? R.C. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.

JACK and synths
by David Herman 27 May '03

27 May '03

Has anyone here been able to build a recent version of JACK http://jackit.sourceforge.net on suse 8.1? I'm having no luck I always hit errors when the examples dir starts to compile. I was reading the synth article in linux journal and got all excited but so far have had little luck getting any of the mentioned synths to work. (actually Bristol works nicely, and although it had an error compiling, amsynthe looks like it wants to workalso). Tips? recommended synth progs for suse? thanks -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!

Autocrop with gimp
by Prabu Subroto 14 May '03

14 May '03

Dear my friends... I need to have some pictures that I make with Gimp. I need some pictures to put them on my homepage. My homepage has a background motive (<body background="bgprabu.jpg">). The problem comes because I need my pictures without background (white color) so the background motive of my homepage seen just stop on the edge (side) of my pictures. Now, what is happening on my homepage is the background motives stop on the white background of my pictures. I tried to crop my pictures. So I want to take the pictures but not the background of my picture (with white color) because if I open these pictures with gimp than I can see that these pictures have actually square form. I need only the object of the picture but not its white background so I should crop the area of the picture where content the picture. I tried to crop my pictures with autocrop : - select the picture with one click, - right click, - select image, - select transform, - select autocrop. But nothing happen on the picture. I can not remove the area outside the picture object. I tried to take crop the picture : - View in (Zoom in), - and select the region with hand drawn regions, - and crop it, - copy it onto a new canvas with transparent background, But after I save it and open it back (again) than I find the picture which just I made with transparent background still has the white background. Please tell me how to do that. I read the documentation and follow what it said but I still don't succeeded. Thank you very much in advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Midi externals and SBLive?
by Curtis Rey 13 May '03

13 May '03

Ok, I have been reading about driver and alsa development with the SBLive. According to what I can find the midi and other parts of the device and it's abilities are or may still be lacking/undeveloped. The problem I'm having is that I can get the sound fonts on my external synth to be seen/read while using any number of programs (e.g. audicity, Jazz, etc..). I can't get the connection to recognize any key input from the externel regardless of what config I use (jackd, jackconnect, aconnect, ad naseum, etc....). However, I have found sites like 4fornt, OSS, Alsa that say one of the cards I have SB128 has better support for external midi. Anyone have any hints, places to get info about this. I would really be interested in getting the keyboard to trigger sounds in real time and the record them and edit/map then. I want to use the external keyboard since I can compose better. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Cheers, Curtis.

mplayer / xine does not show DVDs smoothly on 8.2
by Ulrich Guenther 11 May '03

11 May '03

Under SuSE 8.2 neither xine nor mplayer runs DVDs smoothly. This is clearly a kernel problem. Under the old kernel (2.4.19) everything was fine. Unfortunately SuSE 8.2 can't build the old kernel with gcc 3.3 (pre-release). Was anybody able t watch movies under SuSE 8.2?
