After the latest update the new timidity++ version (2.13.2-r6) does not work for me (can't remember the version befor the update).

Code:
# /etc/init.d/timidity start
 * Starting TiMidity++ Virtual Midi Sequencer ...                                                                                                                                                   [ ok ]
# ps -A | grep tim


As you can see there is no timidity process and kmid or wine + midi do not work. Any ideas?

Can you just run it manually? If so, does that work?

Running it manually (as user or root) via
Code:
timidity -iA

works for me.
This is my config (nothing special, just 1:1 from the package in portage and did etc-update):
Code:
# cat /etc/init.d/timidity
#!/sbin/runscript

depend() {
        after alsasound esound
}

start() {
        ebegin "Starting TiMidity++ Virtual Midi Sequencer"
        test -n "$TIMIDITY_PCM_NAME" && export TIMIDITY_PCM_NAME
        start-stop-daemon --start --background --chuid timidity:nobody \
                --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/timidity.pid \
                --exec /usr/bin/timidity -- -iA ${TIMIDITY_OPTS}
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping TiMidity++"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/timidity.pid
        eend $?
}


Code:
# cat /etc/conf.d/timidity | grep -v \#
TIMIDITY_OPTS="-B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0"
