xmms and red hat 9

ronss · 09-18-2003, 07:25 AM

seem to have a problem with red hat 9-xmms mp3 support-

i installed red hat 9
installed this file-xmms-mpg123-1.2.7-21.i386.rpm

it plays for awhile , and later when i open the music file, nothing happens. i type xmms in a terminal- i get this message-segmentation fault.

should i be getting my files from gurulabs, this is what i am now thinking.

okay, think i have found out my problem, xmms runs great until i install nvidia driver. any suggestions-should i install the nvidia driver first, and then mp3 xmms appliciation?

hmmm...well a segmentation fault basically means the program crashed hard. Do you have the latest version of xmms?

it is the one that comes with red hat 9, and i have downloaded from 2 different sites. it,s the nvidia driver that is causing the problems. tonight afte work i will try to install the nvidia driver first, and then the mp3 plug-in and see what happens. later

i went back to red hat 7.3, at least after i install , you will hear music during the boot, and xmms will start playing.
