chin808 Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 My XMMS crashes everytime I try to use it! I have no idea why because nothing has been changed on the system... I tried removing it and re-installing but the same thing happens... oh the is just terrible... any good advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crock Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Try reinstalling with the complimentary output plugins. I noticed mine would crash on the OSS output but works fine with ALSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherpa Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 (edited) are you using the link that is in the start menu? make a new link on you desktop rt click on desktop>>Create New>>File>>link to app name it XMMS, and then choose xmms's icon for the pic, then click on the "Application" tab in the space for command type /usr/bin/xmms then click ok, try playing an mp3, it should work!!! oh and make sure you are using xmms-1.2.10-1mdk xmms-1.2.10-1mdk xmms-diskwriter-1.2.10-1mdk xmms-alsa-1.2.10-1mdk if you dont have this version, see this page: Thanks to william who helped me with this before Edited May 29, 2004 by Sherpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest miketigerwoods Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I don't know if removing and reinstalling would do the same (I dont think it does...) but sometimes for me if XMMS crashes, sometimes the process is still running, so look at the list of currently running processes and if XMMS is there, kill it.

william Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 (edited) I'd try what Sherpa suggested and also would try to load xmms via command line to check its error messages: [william@poseidon william]$ xmms Edited May 29, 2004 by william Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherpa Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 (edited) yep try also loading it from the command prompt via as william has said [root@localhost root]# cd /usr/bin [root@localhost bin]# xmms this should launch xmms and then try playing an mp3, if it crashes it will grive you the reason Edited May 29, 2004 by Sherpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chin808 Posted May 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Thanx - you guys are great! It works from command... why not the menu? Ill will make a new shortcut thanx alot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 the menu has soundwrapper appended to the command......that's bad. Use menudrake to take off soundwrapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I had the same problem. Just go into menudrake and find the XMMS entry. You'll see the command is listed as soundwrapper xmms Change that to this: xmms No more crash. Not sure why this does this, but I have a sneaking suspicion of OSS vs ALSA. But either way, this should fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
