- Subject: timidity: Needs to load modules explicitely if udev is running

Package: timidity
Version: 2.13.0-rc1-CVS20040221-2
Severity: normal
If /dev is managed by udev, /etc/init.d/timidity fails, unless you add
something like
if [ ! -f /dev/snd/seq ]; then
modprobe snd-seq-midi-emul > /dev/null
sleep 1s # udev needs some time to create the device.
fi
before calling start-stop-daemon.
I don't know what is the canonical way to detect udev.
However, the presense of /dev/.udeb.tbl is an indication.
Furthermore I found that with udev /dev/sequencer is not auto-created,
probably because the kernel module does not yet provide the information
via sysfs. So for the time being it has to be added manually with mknod.
Thanks,
Johannes
