 |
|
Bad day for me, I guess. Earlier, VMware stopped working; I changed kernels and ran vmware-config.pl, which did its thing and printed at the end "To use VMware, you have to run vmware-config.pl"... had to unmerge, manually delete all traces of VMware, and re-emerge. To make matters worse, the tarball available on vmware.com refused to install correctly, citing a previously installed version of VMware that it couldn't uninstall (so the ebuild isn't unmerging correctly). In any case, now XMMS won't give me my tunes, so I'm getting kranky. 
Anyway, XMMS suddenly decided that it didn't want to work with no error message other than a segfault. Fine, okay. Fire up Konsole, su, [r]emerge xmms, ^D, xmms...
| Code: | fs seg 0x4001e000
Available CPU flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse
1003.685000 MHz Pentium III (Coppermine) processor detected
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
** CRITICAL **: Unable to open display |
So, should I just build it manually from sources on xmms.org, or won't that work right? 
Gentoo is a great distribution, and all, but when things fall apart for no apparent reason (see my kernel fiasco in the "NVdriver issues" post) it's not a good sign. |

Scratch that, it's just segfaulting again.
| Code: |
fs seg 0x4001e000
Available CPU flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse

Segmentation fault
You've probably found a bug in XMMS, please visit
http://bugs.xmms.org and fill out a bug report.

Oh, wonderful. Portage blows up, after an update world. 
| Code: |
#emerge unmerge xmms
Traceback (most recent call last):

I think I'm enjoying this one-sided disquisition.  |

I dunno, I kinda feel bad for delta407. It's a young distro, so these things are unfortunate, but they happen. I like to think of it as exciting because sometimes it's fun to not be fully sure what's going to happen next.

Yes, I know I'm replying to myself. But right now, emerge and associated apps refuse to fire up -- using any parameters -- because of the updated version of Python.
| Code: |
# emerge

import fchksum,types

Am I crazy? Should I shut up, or wipe my hard drive? Was this a result of a "drop-in replacement" like all those Microsoft upgrades? (snicker)
I'm confused. I think I should go to bed before I respond to myself a dozen times. |

Okay, I did it again! Urrgh. Anyway, Google is still my friend.
http://www.azstarnet.com/~donut/programs/fchksum.html
Download, unpack, ./configure; python setup.py build; python setup.py install; emerge:
| Code: |
# emerge
* Regenerating GNU info directory index...
* Processed 71 info files.
* IMPORTANT: 1 config files in /etc need updating.
* Type emerge --help config to learn how to update config files.

Whew. Now, back to xmms.... |

xmms segfaults only in user, not in root...
then fix permissions to your sound devices |

| cat > /dev/dsp works just fine from user. It was working before, and after swapping out the kernel (and other sound things work fine) it just sort of... broke. |

A recent update of python created a nasty circular dependency in portage, which pretty much causes it to implode. There's a thread about it here:

I had already fixed my local copy (look up a few posts) and I filed the bug report about the missing Python module which (evidently) was fixed improperly and is destroying everyone else too. 
Oh well. |

Oh, grrr. Whatever. I got rid of the XFS kernel (now that vanilla-sources is in portage) and XMMS comes up fine.

I have the same problem .
I resolved the portage malfunction by deleting the .bashrc and .bash_profile I had made for my root account and rebooting. (Guess it was more the rebooting that did it).
But xmms still doesn't work. I'm already using vanilla sources so that shouldn't be the problem. The weird thing is that gqmpep does work but gives this error:
| Quote: | | Ogg123 dissapeared! (unexpeced EOF) |
I've already reemerged libvorbis, libogg and xmms but that doesn't seem to help.
Anybody have any ideas? |

This thread started long before the Multimedia forum was created. Moved from OTG.

Just wanted to let you know |
