MuseScore

Hi,

I wonder whether you (who?) couldn't include MuseScore to the demudi 
distribution?

The facts: I was looking for mscore package in debinan repositorys --> 
does not exist. Sources only via sourceforge. Ok, I would try to built 
my own package ( would be the first time that I am building a package) 
But then the README file says that I need to install qt4.x.y. There are 
no *.deb_s, too. And it seems really hard for me to install qtxy from 
sources.

So, if someone here has done all this work, could he/she give me some hints?

But it would be much better, if someone (whoever this is within demudi) 
could make and include a mscore (MuseScore) package to the demudi 
distribution an add it to the repository.

Greetings

Michael

I successfully built and installed MuseScore on Demudi 1.3. I reviewed 
the software for my Linux Journal On-line column as a part of a lengthy 
profile of music notation software for Linux.

It's an ambitious project, i.e., it aims to be *the* WYSIWYG notation 
for Linux. Unfortunately it's unstable and far from complete at this 
time, and I'm not sure how closely Werner maintains it (I got zero 
response from readers regarding my review of it).

You can get everything you need from the Debian repositories. IIRC the 
build wasn't especially difficult, but be forewarned that Debian treats

:( How frustrating. I sympathise, having been there many times myself.

Hmm, that's odd. I know about the fonts problem, but nothing in testing should 
be that badly broken. It would have been useful to know the exact error with 
X for future reference. Bit late now.

Can't get demudi to load from CD

Can anyone help me? I've got demudi on live CD, and when I boot up using
defaults, it goes through hardware detection, DHCP set up etc, and gets as
far as "storing languages" with a progress bar at 27% and refuses to go any
further. I've got a pentium 4 on Asus P4T-F motherboard with 256mb ram, so
it should work.  I've tried dozens of other linux distros with no problem.
 
Hope someone can help me with this. I am a musician and have tried musix
linux and studio to go, and would like to check out demudi.

Maybe, but it has its own rewards. Asking questions is good, the better the 
question, the better the answer and we all get to learn something. :)

DeMuDi is simply a custom way of installing Debian with ootb multimedia 
configuration. If it's not in Debian, it won't get into DeMuDi (apart from a 
few exceptions). The reasons you have given above probably explain why no-one 
else has packaged it. Your methods are probably as good as anyone else's.

Sorry, not to be able to offer any more help than that.

Hum... I got the same problem. Booting without the network card worked  
on my computer. I don't know why...
Maybe you should try that ?

I don't remember having to do anything other than put an entry into /etc/fstab 
to get it working, so I guess it is. Check the config in /boot/ to be sure.

tmpfs           /dev/shm        tmpfs   defaults        0       0
works well enough here.

next time when working on audio.
