Guest lesmouffles Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 My son asked me to test the multimedia capabilities of Linux because Win$ has many flaws in midi record/playback. As I have MDK9.1 installed, is this distro enabled for the ALSA realtime MIDI ? I've found kernel-multimedia-2.4.21.1mm.6mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm and the corresponding src package. The source prpm refuses to install either with the control panel utilities or with rpm. I've downloaded them in a special directory and added the source for urpmi. I can see other rpms, but not this one in any install or remove lists. What could cause this problem ? I nedd absolutely the source to be installed since I have the latest NVIDIA driver instaler and it needs to compile it's modules against the kernel during install. Thanks for help.

emh Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 You don't want the RPM that ends with "src.rpm" What you need is the RPM that's called "kernel-multimedia-source" and that's what you need to install. Be sure it's the same version as the kernel. You'll want the second one in this list: http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/sear...ubmit=Search+... By the way, I use play and record MIDI and audio regularly with my Linux, and it works great for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lesmouffles Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Thanks for your reply, but thera is no kernel-multimedia-source on RPMFIND. The only one I found with the same level was the one I have trouble with. I don't understand why URPMI don't see the package even if it's in the directory. That's not the first time I see this behavior. Does URPMI do some check about the validity of the package and don't show it if it's not good enougth?
