+DeMuDi  (Debian Multimedia Distribution)  is a  Debian based GNU/Linux
+distribution focused on the    needs and the desires  of  professional
+multimedia practitioners, which special regard toward musicians.
+
+DeMuDi is NOT a different thing to Debian, it  is just a custom way to
+distribute it.  Thus what  you  get is  a  regular Debian  system with
+particular configuration package selection.
+
+DeMuDi,  born as the  idea of  Nicola Bernardini,  Guenter Geiger  and
+Marco Trevisani (in strict alphabetical order) that free software (see
+below) ought to be in much more widespread usage amongst musicians and
+"multimedia professionals" than it is  today, has found its way inside
+the AGNULA project.
+
+AGNULA (acronym for A GNU/Linux  Audio distribution, pronounced with a
+strong g) is  the name of a   project funded until  April 2004  by the
+European  Commission  (number of  contract: IST-2001-34879; key action
+IV.3.3, Free  Software: towards the  critical mass).  After the end of
+the funded period, AGNULA is continuing as  a volunteer based project,
+aiming to spread Libre Software in the professional audio/video arena.

+DeMuDi 1.2.0 FAQ
+================
+
+Frequently Asked Questions about installing and configuring AGNULA/DeMuDi 1.2.0
+
+1.  Configuration
+2.  Network
+3.  Permissions & ALSA
+4.  JACK Audio Connection Kit
+5.  Xruns, interupts, hdparm & runlevels
+7.  Unresolved issues
+8.  Upgrading existing installations
+9.  Package updates
+10. Further help
+
+1. Configuration
+================
+
+Assuming you've followed all  installation instructions so far, you'll
+now be gazing at a blank fluxbox or  GNOME destop depending on whether
+you   chose the   'minimalistic'   or'user friendly' interface  during
+installation, but little of  it works, at least,  not the way you want
+it to. 
+
+If you haven't   even got  that far,   you may  need  to  do  a little
+troubleshooting first.
+
+Choose an XShell  you're comfortable with.  If  you've not used a text
+interface before (i.e. new to GNU/Linux) spend a while getting used to
+it, you're going   to need it.   Commands prefaced  by  a $ are  to be
+entered as a normal user, commands  with a # in front  of them need to
+be entered as root, this is your prompt (You don't need to type it).
+
+To get access to root type:
+
+$ su 
+
+this will ask you for root's password and then allow you to execute commands as root.
+
+# exit 
+
+will return you to a normal user. Don't stay logged in as root and pay
+careful  attention  to what you   are  doing (write  it  down,  even),
+mistakes here are often difficult to resolve, you have been warned! If
+you want to know more about any of  the commands type
+
+man <command> 
+
+at the prompt.
+
+ Q: The X Window graphical systems fails to start
+
+ A: This  is  probably due   to your video    card not being  properly
+ detected.  You  may need to google a  little bit to  find out if your
+ video card is  supported and which is the  right module for  it. Note
+ also the NVidia  cards need propertary drivers which  can be found in
+ the non-free section of Debian.
+
+ Detailed instructions can be found here:
+
+ http://lists.agnula.org/pipermail/users/2004-September/003171.html
+
+ Q: I can't get a picture to display at all and my mouse doesn't work
+
+ A: You can reconfigure the X server with the command 
+
+ # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 
+ 
+ or 
+
+ # xf86config
+
+ Q: At boot no splash image appears and the boot loader looks crappy
+
+ A: You've probably created a  separate  partition for /boot, so  that
+ the splash image can't be found. Please either move /boot to the root
+ / partition, or change the paths in /boot/grub/menu.lst accordingly.
+
+
+2. Network
+==========
+
+The installer should configure the network for you. If for some reason
+that hasn't  happened then you will  need to configure the  network by
+hand.
+
+If you use dial-up or PPPOE or something, use pppconfig or pppoeconf.
+
+If you use DHCP, please become root and run
+
+ # apt-get install etherconf
+
+Then follow the  instructions, and when  asked for a domainname, leave
+the field empty.
+
+If you're on a laptop you may  need to configure pcmcia-cs before this
+will work. As   this is  a  GNU  system, there are   several different
+methods you could   use  for configuration.  If you  have  a preferred
+method of setting up your network it should also  be available and you
+can always edit /etc/network/interfaces  by hand. The  information you
+need to do this is at:
+
+ # man 5 interfaces
+
+You can then bring the network up with:
+
+ # ifup eth0
+
+or whatever interface you are using instead of eth0.
+
+As soon as you're online, open up a web browser and read these:

+http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/index.html
+http://kreiger.linuxgods.com/kiki/?linux+sound-permissions
+
+3. Permissions & ALSA
+=====================
+
+Check  that you have  the    necessary permissions to  use the   audio
+devices. vi  is  used  for  some of  these examples,  but  again, your
+favourite text editor will do fine. Make sure your username is in this
+file next  to  the audio  entry.  It should   be, by  default,  so you
+shouldn't need to change anything here.
+
+ $ cat /etc/group
+
+If you need to add yourself to the list you can use this command:
+
+ # useradd -G audio username
+
+In order  to get  alsa to   function  properly you   may need to  edit
+/etc/alsa/modutils/1.0 and/or /etc/modutils/alsa-base then:
+
+ # update-modules
+
+and also
+
+ $ vi ~/.asoundrc
+
+notice that last command  is in your home directory  so you don't need
+to be root, so you shouldn't be ;-).
+
+See  the ALSA  website  for further details on  what  to  put in these
+files.
+
+To to check that everything is set up right just run:
+
+/usr/sbin/aadebug
+
+The script will also provide some useful info to accompany any further
+questions.  You will need a little  knowledge of how BASH scripts work
+to use this.
+
+If you look in your menu; Apps > System  > Admin has some useful tools
+such as  alsaconf, if your soundcard  failed to autoconfigure. You may
+need to  create the  file  /etc/alsa/modutils/1.0 by hand  before this
+will work. /etc/modutils/alsa-base  should  be  a duplicate of    this
+file. If not copy it across and don't forget to update-modules.
+
+You may need to log out & back in before these changes take effect.
+
+4. Getting to Know JACK
+=======================
+
+OK,  so that's  the  basic set-up,  now you  should  be hearing   some
+recognisable  sound.  To check that it's  all   working properly, it's
+probably best to go through the exercises in the First steps in Agnula
+tutorial.  QJackCtl
+
+Now you've done that, it's time to have a look at qjackctl, that funny
+little control panel sitting in  the middle of your desktop. Hopefully
+it's already running,  if not  hit the Start  button. All  being  well
+you'll  see the word  Started come up in  the window with  0 (0) below
+it.  Click on the  Connect button and it  should show alsa_pcm in both
+the input and output windows. If so, you're ready to make some music.
+
+If you need to alter the way Qjackctl and gkrellm start up look in:
+
+ # cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/51demudi.
+
+If  it's  not all gone  so  smoothly, click on   Messages, if  you see
+anything much more complicated than:
+
+ 20:19:41.579 Client activated.
+ 20:19:41.583 Audio connection change.
+ 20:19:41.617 Audio connection graph change.
+
+then you're going  to need to   do some work to   get the best  out of
+this. If you only want to  use one application  at a time, you may not
+need to worry about JACK too much right  now. However, if you want the
+full power of a Linux Audio system then it's  worth taking the time to
+figure this out. The Status  button  also provides some slightly  less
+verbose information.  Setup Settings tab
+
+The  'Server Path'  should  be set to  jackstart  and the  'Driver' to
+alsa. 'Parameters' - you probably want to check Realtime for most work
+and Softmode to start with. 'Softmode' means that JACK doesn't quit if
+you  get   odd xruns, obviously,    you   won't want this   if  you're
+recording.   If you know your  machine  only works at 16bit resolution
+check Force 16bit. You'll  probably want to  leave most settings where
+they are.
+
+If you're operating in realtime, your  'Priority' should usually be 0,
+but some  soundcards   differ. 'Frames/Period'  worth setting  at  the
+maximum to start and then working your  way down. This setting affects
+your  latency   most directly,  setting   it too   low will  result in
+xruns. 'Sample Rate' probably wants to be 44100  (CD quality) but some
+soundcards   prefer  48000 (DAT    quality).  'Periods/Buffer'  almost
+certainly wants  to  be 2,  but  again, your  soundcard  may vary. ;-)
+'Interface' -  probably should  be  hw:0 or  whatever you specified in
+your ~/.asoundrc.     'Audio' try 'Playback'   only  if  you're having
+trouble, mostly you'll want  full Duplex. 'Dither'  - 'Shaped' is best
+but CPU hungry, 'Triangular' gives a good compromise, you don't _need_
+dithering,  so None will  do for now. 'Timeout'  and 'Start Delay' you
+might want to consider increasing these in certain situations.
+
+OK your    new settings  Stop  if  JACK  is  still  running  and Start
+again.  You  may need  to   play with  the  settings   a  bit to   get
+satisfactory results.
+
+5. Xruns
+========
+
+During recording  sessions, the Messages panel  in Qjackctl may report
+xruns.  Xruns are basically an indications  that while Jack is running
+something gets  in  the way of it   running  correctly and it  becomes
+unable to    cope with the  flow   of  data causing  dropouts  in  the
+sound. Let's look at the possibilities: Interrupts
+
+If some other card  has a higher priority  then  when it  generates an
+interrupt, if it's slow responding,  then possibly Jack and the  sound
+card cannot get their job done.
+
+ # cat /proc/interrupts
+
+and
+
+ # lspci -v
+
+will give you some valuable information  here. Generally speaking, you
+want your soundcard to be in  the highest priority slot  (9 or 10) and
+not sharing with anything. Solutions  mostly involve physically moving
+the soundcard up to a higher slot  and/or disabling unused hardware in
+the BIOS.  Hard drive speed is too slow
+
+ # hdparm -tT /dev/hda
+
+(or  whatever drive you use  for audio) A/DeMuDi installs with optimal
+settings for most drives. You shouldn't  need to edit /etc/hdparm.conf
+unless you know you do.   You can cause irreversible data   corruption
+messing with these settings. Read:
+
+ # man hdparm
+
+before you attempt anything.  Too many processes running
+
+Processes that interrupt system operation  on a regular basis can also
+cause xruns,  although technically this  shouldn't be a  problem for a
+powerful enough machine running a low-latency kernel.
+
+ $ ps fax
+
+will show you all the processes currently running on your box. One way
+of cutting down on running processes is to specify  a runlevel that is
+reserved  for  making   music,  for example   /etc/rc5.d,  the default
+runlevel is /etc/rc2.d. These directories contain links to the scripts
+that start &  stop essential  services, usually  when you boot  up and
+shut  down. Each    of  these links   starts with    S##,  change  the
+non-essential services to  K##  using your favourite runlevel   editor
+(again, plenty of choice). Likely  candidates for removal are anacron,
+klogd &  cron, most are  inessential apart  from the  obviously  music
+related ones. You can then change runlevels by issuing:
+
+ # telinit 5
+
+or whatever  level number you   chose. It's also worth  disabling your
+screensaver  and  generally  closing down any   unused applications or
+XShells. You   can  automate  this process   in  the  Options   tab of
+Qjackctl's Setup dialog to execute the appropriate commands on startup
+and shutdown.

+
+7. Unresolved Issues
+====================
+
+There's Just One Other Thing ...
+
+Q: I've got unresolved symbols!
+
+A: Yeah, we know.
+
+ depmod:*** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.25-1-multimedia-686/kernel/drivers/media/radio/micropcm20.o
+ depmod:*** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.25-1-multimedia-686/alsa/sndpdaudiocf.o
+ depmod:*** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.25-1-multimedia-686/alsa/snd-vx-cs.o
+ depmod:*** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.25-1-multimedia-686/alsa/snd-440.o
+ depmod:*** unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.25-1-multimedia-686/alsa/snd-vxpocket.o
+
+You can safely ignore all these messages. The last four are because you haven't installed pcmcia-modules.
+
+Q: I think I forgot to configure something else.
+
+A: If you're worried you've missed something out,
+
+ # dpkg-reconfigure -a
+
+Will take you through the configurations of all packages. This will take some time and concentration.
+
+8. Upgrading existing installations
+===================================
+
+Q: Can I upgrade my existing 1.2.0-beta0 installation?
+
+A: Yes, please read the Package Updates section below.
+
+Q: Can I install A/DeMuDi over an existing Debian installation?
+
+A:   Yes, at least  as   long as you are    running Sarge. Follow  the
+following steps
+
+    * become root
+    * edit your /etc/apt/sources.list adding
+
+deb http://apt.agnula.org/demudi testing main local extra
+
+    * from the command line issue:
+
+# apt-get install demudi-install demudi-base
+
+    * install the tasks you are interested in; to have  a look at them
+    * run:
+
+# apt-cache search demudi
+
+      the task demudi installs them all
+    * install the appropriate kernel for your processor:
+
+# apt-get kernel-image-2.4.25-1-multimedia-<Type>
+
+      where <Type> might be 386, 586tsc, 686, k6, k7, and the relevant
+      ALSA modules too:
+
+# apt-get install alsa-modules-2.4.25-1-multimedia-
+
+    * finally  you  may want  to run  some customisation scripts which
+    * automatically tune your system:
+
+# cfagent-demudi -D postbaseconfig -D upgrade
+
+Q: Can I upgrade my existing 1.0/1.1.0 installation?
+
+A: Yes, using apt. See more info on upgrading.
+
+Q: Can I upgrade my existing 1.1.1 LiveCD installation?
+
+A: No cannot upgrade a 1.1.1 LiveCD install. It was not meant for hard
+disk installation, but only for demo porpoises.
+
+Q: Is this a LiveCD?
+
+A: No. It requires installation to your hard drive.
+
+9. Package Updates
+==================
+
+At some point you  may want to update  your packages in order  to take
+advantage of  upgrades, new software or   bug fixes by  using Debian's
+wonderful  tool apt (this requires a  network connection). Many people
+like to  use a package  manager such  as dselect  or  aptitude, if you
+prefer a point & click GUI, synaptic is very useable.
+
+To configure apt to  grab packages from  the network, we need to  edit
+/etc/apt/sources.list. Here is the whole file,  but note that the only
+changes you need  to make are uncommenting the  two bottom lines,  and
+changing the next-to-last entry to say "testing main local extra".
+
+# cat /etc/apt/sources.list   deb  cdrom:[aGNUla/DeMuDi  1.2.0-beta2 -
+# i386      Binary-1   (20040620)]/    unstable    local     main  deb
+# cdrom:[aGNUla/DeMuDi  1.2.0-beta2 - i386 Binary-1 (20040620)]/extra/
+# unstable main deb  http://apt.agnula.org/demudi/ testing  main local
+# extra   deb    http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2004/07/14/debian/
+# testing main contrib non-free
+
+Now that apt is configured, let's get all the updated packages:
+
+# upgrade-demudi
+
+
+10. And beyond ...
+===================
+
+Next you'll be wanting to try out  some of these wonderful Linux Audio
+applications, so we'll leave you in the capable hands of Dave Phillips
+and his excellent Tutorials.
+
+If by some   strange chance you  find a  bug ;-)  please  submit a bug
+report at the development GForge portal.
+
+If you want to discuss this FAQ or write  a HOW-TO yourself, log in to
+aGNUlaWIKI and make a contribution.
+
+Subscribe to the mailing lists and let us know what you think.
+
+Other previously answered questions  are available at the mailing list
+archives. Yes, this is a hint. ;)
+
+Make some great music!

+
+The installation process is composed by two stages.
+
+The first stage starts just after you  boot from the CD-ROM ISO image.
+After a few questions  (language, nationality, keyboard), you will  be
+asked  to  partition your disk.     Please backup  your  data   before
+proceeding  and be extremely  careful  before  writing changes to  the
+disk.
+
+After you have  set up the target partition   a minimal Debian  system
+will be  installed on it.
+
+Then the installer will auto-probe for other operating systems present
+on your  hard disk(s) and  ask  whether you want   to install the Grub
+boot-loader on  the master boot record. If  all your operating systems
+are listed among the detected ones, just answer "yes".
+
+Your computer  will  be restarted   to  start the  second installation
+stage.
+
+Please make sure that your CD-ROM is  ejected during the re-boot, then
+when the greeting message appears insert it again.
+
+After the  greeting you will be asked  to set your  timezone, to enter
+the root password and to make a new user account for yourself.
+
+Then a task list will appear, letting  you select which components yow
+want  to  be installed.   Pressing tab will  switch between  the three
+buttons at the bottom ("Finish", "Task Info", "Help"). If you want all
+the tasks to be installed just press "A" and then "Finish".
+
+Finally the installer  will try to auto-configure  you video card  and
+start the X graphic  system. Please contact   the mailing list  [0] in
+case of failure.
