xmms won't appear

krusty_ar · Posted: Mon Jan 06, 2003 10:04 pm Post subject: xmms won't appear

Hi, when i fire up xmms form kde (run command), it doesn't do nothing, then, if i fire it from the console, it does not give any output, it just sits there as if it where reading from stdin, the funniest thing is that it was working this morning, i rm'ed .xmms and remerged but nothing changes,
BTW: the process does start, but it just doesn't appear on screen.

any ideas?

thanks. Lucas.

ok, tryed that, the last line (after severak kilo lines) is:

rt_sigsuspend([]

i just had the same problems, and i fixxed it by unmerging the avi-xmms plugin

try that too.... if you have avi-xmms emerged before ;]

i noticed none of us cryed out about having to unemerge avi-xmms.

i was wondering why do we install this great meta distro if we end up emerging packages that won't be needed

:?:

Same happened as soon as I emerged avi-xmms.

Unmerging now. Maybe something wrong in the ebuild, or something just needs updated?

How can you install xmms without the plugins?

Thanks, I had the same problem and that worked for me too. Is there anyway to get xmms-avi working?

/etc/make.profile/make.defaults contains this

taking a blind shot here, but it seems that you have the avi USE flag set, to emerge xmms without avi support you can unset it (always change make.conf and never make.defaults) or, if you want avi support in all your system except by xmms you can do this
