Description of problem: When timidity++ is installed via yum, attempting to use timidity to play will get the error: fluid3gs.cfg: No such file or directory /etc/timidity.cfg: No such file or directory timidity: Can't read any configuration file. Please check /etc/timidity++.cfg or /etc/timidity.cfg Installing libtimidity, fluid-soundfont-lite-patches, and fluid-soundfont-gs appears to rectify this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 17 Beefy Miracle beta Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install timidity++ on the Fedora 17 beta 2. Try to use timidity to play a .midi or .mid. Actual results: fluid3gs.cfg: No such file or directory /etc/timidity.cfg: No such file or directory timidity: Can't read any configuration file. Please check /etc/timidity++.cfg or /etc/timidity.cfg Expected results: For a midi file to play
Thanks for the bug-report. My bad I forgot to check that things would still work without the -gs package when improving the instrument mapping for timidity. I'm preparing fixed fluid-soundfont + timidity++ packages now fixing this. You can expect the update system to post a notice here that updates are available soon. When this happens, please take a moment to test the update (ie test things work without the 2 extra packages you installed) and then goto the updates system to leave some positive karma for the update.
