XMMS works in gnome but not in kde
Hi !
I'm running Mandrake 10. In gnome my XMMS sound player works alright. If I then log out of gnome and directly into kde and then starts XMMS it disappear from my screen when clicking on the play button. No error messages, it just disappear. How can this be solved? Please help me! :( |
Does it work if you launch it with the command
artsdsp xmms |
Thanks Andrew !
XMMS starts then typing the command artsdsp xmms. If I then hit the play button, the program disappear and I get this output in the Console: Code:
Segmentation fault |
Well, if you can compile things from source this plugin may work http://havardk.xmms.org/plugins/arts...t-0.7.1.tar.gz I can't test it myself as I don't use KDE. Hopefully someone who knows what they're talking about will help you.

Thanks Andrew !
I appreciate your help! I have downloaded the plugin arts_output-0.7.1 as you suggested. But I'm a Linux newbie so I need some help with the installation of the plugin. The plugin readme file read as follows: aRts plugin for XMMS To compile the plugin you need Glib (1.2.x), Gtk+ (1.2.x), arts, and xmms. You also need header files for all these which is often in a separate development package. To compile the plugin: ./configure make Then install as root with: make install If you don't have root privilegies, you can instead: * Copy .libs/libarts.so to ~/.xmms/Plugins/ * Copy xmms-arts-helper to some location that is in your PATH. I made a try typing ./configure in the Console. I got this output: Code:
[root@dhcppc0 arts_output-0.7.1]# ./configure Can someone please help me ! |
In KDE go to menudrake (Alt+F2 - type: menudrake).
Find your XMMS entry in the menu tree on the left. Highlight it and look at the command entry on the right. If it says: "soundwrapper xmms" (without the quotes) delete the 'soundwrapper' part from the command entry, click save and exit menudrake. Should sort it out. As for your other problem with the aRts plugin - it's telling you that you need a C compiler to compile the plugin. There's one on the CD's if you haven't configured your sources, otherwise you can download one through rpmdrake. |
Thank You pongmaster !
