You were right

Ouch: this "é" seems to be from a french keyboard: I'm tying to fix some 
problems related to french users: after HD install, you will have to copy 
some files to your Musix OS in order to enjoy a french keyboard. I had 
attached those files.

Hi, I was working on that, and now it works fine

Uncompress bin.tar.gz to /bin/  and the other files 
to /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/

Download them from:

www.musix.distrux.net/parches/bin.tar.gz
www.musix.distrux.net/parches/usr-share-apps-kdm-sessions.tar.gz

You can uncompress them with konqueror, or ark

Make shure that all the /bin files are executables ones

chmod +x /bin/*

It should work very well for you from K Desktop Manager (KDM) now.

Tell me how does it goes.

===French KDE apps and manpages===

*You must have Internet access

Type '''tasksel''' into a console or terminal window (konsole, etc.)

Or: you can type

 apt-get install kde-i18n-fr manpages-fr

Follow the install process, it should be easy.

Also, you can install synaptic (apt-get install synaptic), that is an easy way 
to install software packages.

These kind of things will be solved into Musix 0.30

I think that you are using Rosegarden without selecting Audio into the track 
you are trying to record to.

Thats what i mean: try to find out how does Rosegarden use to assign Audio or 
MIDI tracks (also, synth plugins, etc). You can always read the manual ;)

Did you installed Musix?

Mmm.... maybe

Maybe it's damaged.

Try with this doc: 
https://www.ututo.org/xp/modules/xoopsfaq/index.php?cat_id=1#q52

Also, you can type testcd when you boot musix... but I think that it always 
says that the CD es bad ;) so, I dont know.

Try to tell us what messages are you reading there.
