Can't get MIDI output running

Hi there,
I was trying to run Guitar Pro 5 through wine. When I couldn't  manage to get sound output, I realized that I don't have any MIDI output at all (i.e. the problem is not wine-specific).
So I checked on http://www.midi-howto.com/ and tried ot follow the tutorial there. I probably should have the necessary alsa packages - but acutally there is no 'alsa-drivers' on the Arch-repositoriers and I could not compile the latest drivers from the alsa website. But as wav-sound is working fine, I assume that I have the drivers I need.
I made all entries at the /etc/modules.conf that the alsa website proposed for my soundcard (Intel OnBoard chipset using intel8x0m). Then I tried to modprobe the following modules by hand:
snd-seq
snd-seq-midi
snd-seq-midi-event
This creates the device files /dev/sound/sequencer[1,2] and the corresponding symlinks /dev/sequencer[1,2] but when a programm tries to use them or when i try to 'cat' them I always just get
/dev/sound/sequencer: No such device
Does anybody have an idea where the probleme originates and how I might solve it?

if the onboard soundchip is not able to play midi (most onboard sound hardware can't play midi) you have to use a midi-to-wav converter like Timidity++
edit:
I see you are from Germany, so have a look at the german wiki

  • Can't get 1080p output to TV in windows 7 under bootcamp

    I have no problems using my 40in Samsung LN610 1080p TV as extension of my Snow Leopard desktop (though it was rather tricky to get it running). However, I can NOT get 1080p output in windows 7 under bootcamp.
    In detail, when I use TV as an extension of the desktop, TV shows no HDMI signal coming in if I try to use 1080p or 1080i output (using NVIDIA panel or standard win7 properties panel). However, when I drop the output to 720p then the signal gets through and TV displays 720p just fine.
    I hope I explained it clearly engough. Please let me know if you are having the same trouble or if you know of a solution. I'm using the latest bootcamp drivers.
    I have Macbook Pro 13in 2.53GHz, 9400m, 4GIG RAM, mid 2009 unibody model.

    This problem is not a problem with Windows or Apple. It has to do with when the updates are applied to Windows boot camp. The way to fix this is as follows. First click on the bluetooth icon from the Windows start page. Then click show bluetooth items. From this window click add a new device. When the device appears double click on the icon for the device. A window should appear that at the top says general and other. Click on the other tab and another window comes up with a small box in it. Check the box and Windows will search and install the exact, correct drivers for the device. Now the device will pair and work fine.

  • Exchange 2013 remote session running as PowerShell version 2.0. How can I get it to run version 3.0?

    I'm trying to use the newer Powershell 3.0 features, particularly the ability to disconnect/reconnect a remote session, for our Exchange 2013 administration tools.  I have 3.0 on my workstation, and am connecting to a remote session on an Exchange 2013

    I still can't get it to work that way. I changed my cfexecute to:
    <cfexecute name="C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" arguments="/c C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\#cmd_filename#" outputFile="C:\testoutput.txt" timeout = "90"></cfexecute>
    And I changed my bat file to have:
    <cfsavecontent variable="cmd_content">
    cd\
    TSC.exe /s "#newString#" C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\#FileName# Mary (for Telephone)
    </cfsavecontent>
    The output file is showing:
    C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\bin>cd\
    C:\>TSC.exe /s "3.....P.....4.....Z.....8.....U.....7.....X....." C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\3P4Z8U7X-105724.wav Mary (for Telephone)
    I still can't get it to run the exe. I have watched the process list while running this and the exe doesn't show up. I tried cfexecute on the exe directly before trying the bat method, with hard coded arguments, and it still didn't work. I am so lost right now this makes no sense to me.

  • Can we get a output in different languages for the same configuration

    Hi All,
    Can we get a output in different languages for the same configuration done in NACE. or it is language specific.
    They have symbols which have values both in german and english. But when we run the transaction we are getting the output only in german language.We want the out put in english
    language.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Rajesh

    A Smartform can be maintained in many languages other than the language that it is created. Translations for the texts have to be maintained for this purpose.
    To maintain the translations:
    Go to transaction SE63 in R/3.
    Go to menu Translation->R/3 Enterprise->Other Long Texts
    Select the object type in the pop up. Smartform(SSF) object type is found under Forms and Styles(FS).
    Enter the name of the Smart form and choose the source and target language. This would open a screen with the Smartform code in Source language on the top and an editor with the same code in the bottom.
    Find the text for which you need to maintain the translation and insert the translation in that place. As usual after required texts are maintained Save and Activate.
    To see the translated Smartform create an output type and assign the smartform and the driver program to this output type. In the transaction that sends output to this smartform, select the output type and select the language in which the smartform has to be displayed (translations have to be maintained in this lanuage).This will give the smartform in the required language.

  • Issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run

    Since a couple of weeks ago, I have an issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run When starting the application I get the following error:
    "The procedure entry point ?AcquireVarient@ImageInterface@drawbot@dvaui@@QBE?BV?$intrusive_ptr@UImageInterface@drawb ot@dvaui@@@boost@@V?$rational@J@5@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\Program Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe."
    I'm running it on Windows 8 (x64). I have multiple other Adobe applications installed, which are running fine. I've tried solving the issue with reinstalling Illustrator - multiple times. My GPU driver is updated to the latest version.

    I have this issue as well on my Mac and called tech support 4 times and they can't fix it. Adobe has really gone down hill in a short amount of time!!
    Only thing that worked (as a temporary fix) is to create a new user and toggle back and forth between two users which is very annoying. Adobe has tried uninstalling, reinstalling, taking over my computer remotely, trashing plugins, verifying permissions but the fact remains that we bought CS6 four weeks ago and Illustrator doesn't work.
    I'm going on Facebook to let others know.....don't buy Adobe, it doesn't work and they don't know how to fix.

  • My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard (via my MacBookPro), either from the HD or DVD drive.  Can't get it to run Hardware Test.  Disk Utility says disk OK - files are there. What can I do?

    My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard.   I erased and re-installed by putting the iMac in Target Disk mode and usin my MacBookPro as the host.  But after numerous attempts I still can't get it to boot either from the HD or DVD drive. I just get the white screen after the wheel stops spinning.  I can't get it to run Hardware Test - just get the white screen.  If I use Disk Utility via my MBP it says the disk appears OK. All the Snow Leopad files appear to have been installed. What can I do?

    Perhaps you installed the wrong version OS X onto the iMac, you can't use the disk from another Mac.
    clean the disk.
    If it's not working then use this method to create a bootable 10.6 USB from the iMac machine specific 10.6 disk or the 10.6.3 retail disk on your other Mac, use it to boot the iMac with.

  • New-Asset Report - awesome, but can't get it to run?

    Howdy - I am trying to run the awesome new-asset report that Zachary Loeber shared with the technet community.
    The script is here:  http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Excel-and-HTML-Asset-0ffbf569
    However I can't get it to run against 1 server or multiple servers.
    I followed this information someone else asked and I get back many errors, all related to the parameters.
    Can someone help me out with this?
    A. Should this be saved as a function? And then I've read conflicting or maybe different ways to run a function.  Should I do import-module or just run the script as a single command line, and I've had this issue with other functions.  Should they
    be put in a specific location on my system?  I'm newbie, so thanks for the help!
    B.  When I run this, I've tried using this simple command:  .\New-AssetReport.ps1 -Computers testserver1.domain.local -PromptForCredentials -Verbose
    C.  Then I tried this example as well from a single line or creating another ps1 script, fails either way.
    D.  What variables are required to be filled in, and what parameters are available such as report type, include memory, but not disk, etc?
    Here's the error if I enter the command like this:  .\New-AssetReport.ps1 -Computers testserver1 -PromptForCredentials -Verbose
    New-AssetReport : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'SaveDataFile'. Cannot convert value
    "System.String" to type "System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter". Boolean parameters accept only Boolean values
    and numbers, such as $True, $False, 1 or 0.
    Here is the error if I use the other example which is below.  I get many errors, all tied to the parameters such as -verbose, etc.
    $Servers = @('Server1','Server2')
            .\New-AssetReport.ps1 -Computers $Servers -PromptForCredentials -Verbose
    New-AssetReport : The term 'New-AssetReport' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
    operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try

  • Can't get Videos to run on the Internet

    Can't get Videos to run on the Internet. Clicked to watch a video and nothing happened. Sales person in Apple store said to get "Flip4Mac", free edition, which is what they used in store as the files on this site and in Windows Media. I downloaded it and I think I installed it. At least it said is was installed and updated. But when I went to my Son's favorite website, Nascar.com, when he clicked on a video to watch nothing happened. Anyone have any idea what's wrong?
    Thanks in advance for the help.....Nancy

    First off, I'll list all the items that I use to play, just about, all media on the web:
    Flip4Mac
    (as you might have found out, Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported)
    VLC
    Real Player
    Perian
    Adobe Flash
    Streamclip
    All that being said, there is still some unplayable A/V content on the web. Even though it's listed as WMV, they are really processed with a codec that is underneath that wrapper, and unsupported by any of the above listed apps and plug ins. If any content like this is found on a high profile site, and is in wmv format, then the Flip4Mac people request to be told, so they can see if compatibility can be written in on their next update.
    Generally, video playback on a Mac can be somewhat complex. Would be nice if everyone used Quicktime, but I don't see that happening on the PC end of things anytime soon. So, we'll all just have to use what we can to view content.
    RE: learning Leopard....there are some tutorials on the Apple support site, but I've always found the suppot discussions to be pretty helpful. I've never been one to get a lot from manuals. Mostly, I get my knowledge from working with the apps I need, and getting advise from others who have done whatever. Occasionally, there's a class at the college that you might look into. Anyway, feel free to ask any questions you want on this forum, or drop me an email. [email protected]

    Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
    This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
    1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
    2. Select to "Options
    3. Select "Applications"
    4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
    5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
    Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

  • We are running firefox 3.0.5. When I log onto any of our machines I can't get Firefox to run. I get the Close Firefox popup and the message Firefox is already running

    I can't get firefox to run on any machines. My colleagues can.
    I can't find any trace of Firefox running and it still complains
    that there is an existing firefox process running.

    Also, and although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].

  • I still can't get Flash to run .. OSX10.6.8 ~ FFox latest 8.01

    I have had to go back to using Safari because I still can't get Flash to run!
    Does anyone know the secret please?
    This Adobe vs Apple thing is going too far.
    When I saw an FFox upgrade I rubbed my hands and thought Whoopee .. they will have fixed it by now" .. but NO!
    Apple support held my hand to make Flash work on Safari..
    Please does anyone have the steps to make it work?

    Every time I have Flash content is says:

    Does anyone have any clues as to what to do?

  • Why can I get 4k output from MSI Radeon HD 5450 on Win XP but not Win 7?

    A few months ago I bought a msi Radeon 5450 Graphics Card.
    I was surprised impressed that I could get 4k output (3840 x 2160) on my SEIKI monitor (via HDMI at 30Hz). This exceeds the specification!!!
    However, when I took this Graphics card from my Win XP box and put in Windows 7, I can't run at 4k. The highest resolution choice is 1920 x 1080.
    In Win XP, I just had to do "Detect Displays" in CCC and the 3840 x 2160 resolution would show up as a choice.
    But when I do "Detect Displays" in CCC in Windows 7, I don't get the 3840 x 2160 as a choice. I only get 1080 as a choice.
    I did notice the Catalyst Control Centre  (CCC) program between Windows XP and Windows 7 is different.
    The Win 7 PC, has an APU (not sure if that has any bearing).
    Can anyone advise what I can do?
