Installed TuxGuitar on Acer

Hi, I play guitar in spare time so I installed TuxGuitar, a very useful software on this great Acer!!!

download software here: http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/download.html
select "Linux-x86 Binary Files", download and extract files typing:

Code:

tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz

(where filename is the name of the file you have downloaded :lol: )

You have a folder named Tuxguitar-0.1.9... open a Terminal from this folder and type:

Code:

./tuxguitar

and now... Let's Rock!!!

 

I installed the program following your instructions ot the letter, but after running it, I opened a tab and tried to play it and there were no sound and the terminal was just repeating "No sound note".

Any suggestions?

 

Alternatively, and easier, install it using the add/remove software programme, Pirut. You may need the livna repos enabled.

 

Tried it again just now with pirut and got the same result.

The program itself would startup and run perfectly, but there's just no sound being played when it goes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

 

Linux doesn't come with a midi system as standard; I think you may need to install Timidity and run it in alsa sequencer mode (timidity -iA from a terminal as I recall). See if that works!

 

Yes! That did the trick! Thanks =D

 

I've just installed the complete tuxguitar package and it worked out of the box. No timidity or anything else required.

 

Which package for timidity do I download? I'm new to linux and am quite confused with the many different versions. Also I have started using the terminal to download and install software (such as tuxguitar and azureus), so is there a sudo yum command to download Timidity?
Thanks

 

Code:

sudo yum install timidity++

It's quite a large download (~33mb) since it downloads a soundfont library. For better performance from timidity start it using 'timidity -iA -B2,8 &'. To see how to set up another excellent music app in linpus seem my Rosegarden post viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7126
