Strace of vmpk when it just exits after briefly showing its initial window

I cannot test the package as I do not have the necessary hardware. What type of MIDI synthesizer do you have, and is the system set up to use the jack audio driver? CC:

davidwhodgins Hi, currently I do not use any hardware synthesizer. I use this tool for sending program changes to, for example, fluid synth. I.e., switch from Stage piano to Strings pad etc. On Mageia 6 this was no problem at all, but in MGA7x64 the program refuses to start. Though all libraries like drumstick are present, only the greeting screen flashes up for less than one second and that's it. Thank you for reporting this. @ Dave : You do not need any special hardware to see the fault. I just installed & tried it: vmpk-0.7.1-2.mga7 (MGA7 Xfce), and it does exactly what is described. Shall attach strace. Could it do this *because* there is no special hardware. Assigning to Rémi, the registered maintainer, CC'ing DavidG who has touched it before. CC:

1 Workaround in the meantime if used to send midi messages to midi devices: install vkeybd -- this one can be even started multiple times and each one instance can be connected separately with any synth, sampler etc. in qjackctl Any update so far? This bug is still valid in Mageia 8: $ vmpk Failure loading widgets library translations for "fr_FR" from "/usr/bin/../share/drumstick/" Default MIDI IN driver "Network" not found Default MIDI OUT driver "SonivoxEAS" not found Unable to initialize all MIDI drivers. Terminating. $ rpm -qa | grep vmpk vmpk-0.8.0-1.mga8 $ uname -romi 5.10.20-desktop-2.mga8 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Whiteboard:
