Package: timidity
Version: 2.13.2-40.2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Unsure, but I found /dev/snd/seq with group root and no group access permissions.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Manually changed group of /dev/snd/seq to audio and chmod g+rw /dev/snd/seq
* What was the outcome of this action?
Timidity could then be started.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
