[gentoo-user] xmms crashes

[gentoo-user] xmms crashes

[C. Beamer]

Hi,

Up until the day before yesterday, xmms worked fine and I was able to
play audio files.

On the weekend, I updated the kernel following the instructions in the
"Kernel Upgrade Guide".  Everything went fine.  When I rebooted the
computer my kmix icon was "x'd" out, so I unmerged alsa-driver and
reinstalled it and then things were fine.  At this point, xmms still worked.

Then, I upgraded x11 and although xmms opens, it crashes whenever I try
to play an audio file.  I tried totally unmerging it and all it's
dependencies, but that didn't work.

I've tried looking on the forums and in the bug list, but can't see
anything that appears the same.

Any ideas?

Take care,

Colleen

Hi,
try removing the config and menurc in ~/.xmms,
Did you use any visual plugins?
Because this are a little brittle and break easily after any upgrade.

Thanks for the response, but ..... :-)

Actually, I removed the whole ~/.xmms directory after the fresh install.

I have the blursk and blur-scope plugins installed, but they are disabled.

I don't know if this means anything, but I did notice a message when
xmms and its dependencies were installing - something about that I
should run aclocal.

I tried running aclocal and I got this message:

aclocal-1.9: `configure.ac' or `configure.in' is required

I'm at a loss as to what this means.

I *do* have a 'configure.ac' in the /usr/share/libtool/libltdl/ directory.

Take care,

Just though I'd let the list know, I've solved the problem.  Seems
that xmms didn't like mikmod.  When I installed modplugxmms, it worked
fine.

Take care.
