Guest kdsudac Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 I tried to play some mp3 files and XMMS crashed. When I tried to relaunch it, nothing happened. I tried restarting my comptuer, and this didn't help the problem. Then I tried to remove the rpm, and reinstall. Still didn't fix it. Then I tried dling the gz version, and I did all the make stuff and installed. Still didn't fix it (I couldn't figure out how to even try to start the program). At this point, everything that has to do with XMMS is a mess. Is there anyway to just "clean the slate" and start over. I've considered just reformatting (since I just started with linux 2 days ago). My goal was to figure out all the kinks, then to reinstall and put things the way I want. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 What happened if you delete you ~/.xmms directory then restart xmms? Does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kdsudac Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 delted all xmms directories and reinstalled from the distro CD. Works now. Suprisingly easy. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 A good way of testing if testing if its xmms or just that user that is broken is by trying to run xmms as root in a console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
