MrWhisp Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hi, After the upgrade to Mdk 2005 my xmms won't work. When I try to start it, the processor is at 100% workload until I kill xmms, and then I got a kde window crash warning message. I tried to reinstall the rpm package but it didn't help. Anyony know of a solution? /MrWhisp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 What kind of error do you see if you run xmms from the command line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWhisp Posted April 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Nothing... no output, nothings happend. Except my cpu is at 100%... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 (edited) Please try from console "strace -o errorlog.txt xmms" and then checkout the created debug file (errorlog.txt). Also, if you have installed "gdb" the KDE crash handler will provide info on the popup window- just copypaste it here.

mikeoneil Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I had the same problem. For me the fix was to lauch xmms, open the preferences window, then in the 'Audio I/O plugins' tab under the section 'Output plugins' select Alsa instead of OSS. Maybe this will work for you? Mk.

MrWhisp Posted April 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I got a lot of text in the error txt file. Here are the errors I found: .... access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ... open("/usr/share/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ... connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ... lstat64("/home/dual/.xmms/config", 0xbffff28c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ... lstat64("/usr/share/themes/Galaxy/gtk/gtkrc.en", 0xbffff18c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) lstat64("/usr/share/themes/Galaxy/gtk/gtkrc.en_US", 0xbffff18c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ... open("/usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ... lstat64("/etc/gtk/gtkrc.en", 0xbffff18c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) lstat64("/home/dual/.kde/share/config/gtkrc.en_US", 0xbffff18c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ... read(3, 0xbfffee30, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) ... open("/home/dual/.icons/wonderland/index.theme", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 1. Does xmms run as root? 2. Does it run when you move or delete the /home/dual/.xmms/ directory? 3. If you were using OSS before as XMMS output, get sure the "libalsa-oss0" package is installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWhisp Posted April 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 1. xmms does not run as root either. 2. Removing .xmms folder does not help. 3. Installed libalsa-oss0 package but it does not help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Do "lsmod" and see if the snd-pcm-oss emulation module is running. XMMS initializes by default the OSS output plugin. You can change that by setting your repos and getting alternative output plugins for xmms: urpmi xmms-alsa (or xmms-arts, or xmms-jack or whatever supported output plugin you prefer).

MrWhisp Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 snd-pcm-oss is running. I have tried xmms-arts and xmms-jack and still the same problem. Totem works correctly, so I can use it instead. I preffer xmms though. Maybe an installation from the source code might help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 (edited) Totem uses the xine engine (same as Kaffeine), nothing to do with xmms. I'm puzzled as XMMS works fine here, even with just the OSS output plugin and none else installed- both with an onboard Intel 81X and an Echo Mia stereo soundcard. Can you elaborate a little more and report the soundcard you are using? Any chance it is a recent Soundblaster?

MrWhisp Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Well, it's a built-in soundcard in a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo D laptop. The only info in the specs is Audio: VT1612 The funny thing is that I didn't had any problem when running MDK 10 and 10.1, and now when I run 10.2 it freezes. I have one idea of what might cause the problem: I have recently installed the ATI driver and uses dual screen mode, one internal laptop screen and an external LCD screen. This setting didn't work at all in KDE 3.2, but seem to work okay in 3.3.2. I have however experienced that some applications don't like dual monitor setting. Example: - The filemanager in Totem freezes the entire computer.... - When trying to change desktop backgrounds in Gnome the computer freezes... Since xmms don't start at all, it might be a GUI problem.... In both examples above, and in the xmms case, the CPU is at 100% and the computer is really slow.

scarecrow Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 I won't argue it might be a GUI problem (I, for example, never activate the "composite" of my Nvidia FX 5200 video card as I have quite a few headaches after...), but please post your /home/user/.xmms/config file to see if something is odd (since it didn't work as root either, it shouldn't really be the case).

MrWhisp Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Since I have not been able to start xmms and the user I had is newly created, the .xmms folder only contains the empty folders Plugins and Skins, and no files exists. I'd rather live with my dual screens than a single screen and working xmms, but these problems are a little bit annoying.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
