Thanks for the replies.

There is a problem with the midi stuff. I must say I don't understand 
close to nothing about this subject on linux, but it seems that there 
are some things which are disturbing eachother...

This is my /etc/modules on Ubuntu:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

loop
lp
fuse

snd-seq-midi
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But I'll still get those messages...

@Arda:

service timidity stop (as root) is not working. Command service not 
found or something....


I also use noteedit and for that I need to load timidity. Is there a way 
to set up the midi in Ubuntu which works with all programs e.g. 
noteedit, rosegarden, qsynth etc. ??

My sister is a (semi) prof. musicians and she is using Finale 2007. I 
want to look if I can set her mind to linux..... But things should be 
preconfigured smoothly to accomplish this....
