I tried at boot :musixrt english >videovesafb1024x768 (and others)failsafescreen=1280x1024 xvrefresh=60 xhrefresh=80Also tried videoconfig.sh which i tried all options however it seemed ok but Musix New Method seemed to fail.Finally after auto detect and selecting 'medium' level and stepping through the many questions I exited.This through me to a promt > root@tty1[/]#Anything apart from videoconfig.sh typed here would fail.Both kdm and start failed.Any suggestions as I am keen to play with this as it has already recognised my Hoontech C-Port DSP24 and plays the startup music during boot.I have a Philips 170s4 LCD monito capable of auto-detect. But it wont.Thanks,Wayne

Hi Marcos,No offense but are your last two posts meant to mean anything at all?There is no explaination for your commands which would usually result in a action/result.Maybe you could do the following.1.

locales problems: please, test and report! (Musix 0.99 development)
by Marcos Guglielmetti 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Spanglish problems will be still there, but I think this new scripts could solve some of them, also, the Xdialog scripts (knoppix-installer, netcardconfig, etc) should work better- Also, warning messages launching GTK apps from virtual terminals, should dissapear: try launching GTK apps from mrxvt or xterm or konsole after installing those packages: ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/deb/musix-desktop-upgrade_1.4.deb ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/deb/musix-bin-scripts_1.4.deb (dpki -i musix*) then, reboot... So, we need to test how german, french, english, italian, portuguese and spanish works with this new configurations... Use the KDM menú to enter in another language, but, test it in english too. also, you can install them by apt-get update apt-get install musix-desktop-upgrade musix-bin-scripts You can see some info: apt-cache policy musix-desktop-upgrade apt-cache show musix-desktop-upgrade apt-cache policy musix-bin-scripts apt-cache show musix-bin-scripts Well, good luck! -- Marcos Guglielmetti * Director del desarrollo de Musix GNU+Linux, 100% Software Libre * CD Donwload: (http://www.musix.org.ar/en/) * Colabora: http://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php/Musix099_tasks * Videos, programas y otras cosas en: ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/ * Reporte de errores a: https://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php?title=Problemas-Bugs *IRC: #musix channel on freenode * http://autosus.wordpress.com/

Musix is being used at Joe Wilson Intermediate School in Cedar Hill, Texas, USA
by Marcos Guglielmetti 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Article: http://www.musix.org.ar/wordpress/?p=53 Musix is being used at Joe Wilson Intermediate School in Cedar Hill, Texas, USA The school teacher Marilyn Hagle (marilyn.hagle [ … ] chisd.com) is using Musix in her lessons of music at Joe Wilson Intermediate School in Cedar Hill, Texas, USA. “I am a 5th/6th grade general music teacher and use bootable Musix CDs in our computer lab with students once a week. It rocks! First the students work on the easy rhythm practice exercises in Solfege. Then we go to the Hydrogen Drum Machine program and the students write their own rhythm patterns. I have each class for only twelve weeks a year. This twelve weeks term we are going to try compose a melody and add percussion to it. Note Edit would be the easiest to use with this age group, but in the .5 version it doesn’t load the synthesizer consistantly (could be user error of course :) ). I am downloading your latest release right now, so maybe that will have a fix.” We are working to debug this problem, maybe related to Timidity. “It might interest you to know that the students are now working on composing percussion accompaniments in Hydrogen for the program. We will be singing our school song, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” and playing a melody from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony on our recorders . . . all with Hydrogen accompaniments. :)” She have taught also in Minnesota and Chicago, her BA is in music and her MA in media communications, also she is certified to teach music and technology applications in Texas. Well, boys, another woman using GNU/Linux! But, “sadly”, she is married ;) Marilyn started using computers in the classroom in 1982, she moved to Free Software in 1998, and she thinks educators are crazy or lazy for not using GNU+Linux. Just a last note… Marilyn is exited about the new apps that were included into the last Musix’s version, 0.79 (we included them thinking about the needs of artistic schools and rock bands): “I was so excited to download your latest version and see it included Cinelerra and Blender!! Before I took this job, I taught high school computer animation using Blender (fabulous!). One of my educational goals has been to teach kids how to write their own songs and make them into music videos!!” Thanks Marilyn Hagle for using, teaching and spread Free Software! -- Marcos Guglielmetti * Director del desarrollo de Musix GNU+Linux, 100% Software Libre * CD Donwload: (http://www.musix.org.ar/en/) * Videos, programas y otras cosas en: ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/ * Reporte de errores a: https://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php?title=Problemas-Bugs *IRC: #musix channel on freenode * http://autosus.wordpress.com/
