Can't disable XMMS opengl spectrum analyzer plugin
 
Whenever I try to close the opengl spectrum analyzer window or uncheck activate plugin box for it (under options->preferences-visualization plugins), xmms closes and the pluggin is still on when I restart. Is there any way I can disable that pluggin?

(sorry if this belongs under the general forum or somenhere else)

In a console, do
Code:

ps ax | grep xmms
- you should see output similar to
Code:

24801 ?        Sl    0:00 xmms
24855 pts/1    S+    0:00 grep xmms

Then do
Code:

kill 24801
replacing 24801 with whatever number you get.

What you're doing is identifying the process ID belonging to xmms, and then sending the system a direct command to kill it.

To prevent it happening again, right click on the xmms player, -->visualisation--> visualisation plugins, highlight the relevant plugin and uncheck the 'enable' box.

That doesn't work.

Why would I need to do that? XMMS closes fine.

Like I said, I already tried that and when I do the whole of xmms closes.

try editing the .xmms/config file

I couldn't find it.

I managed to deactivate it another way: temporarily renaming the file:/usr/lib/xmms/Visualization/libogl_spectrum.so file.
