xmms not appear in sound&Video after install using yum
 

hi all,

I am having fedora 10

I tried to install xmms by using

And try with this:
yum install xmms-mp3
this works file and completed successfully

but I dont know where can I find this software after installation.. I reboot my machine.. still no luck

plz help..

Open a konsole, and as the root user, run the command 'updatedb' ( without the quotes ). Wait for the disk activity to end. The system is building a database of all files on your system. Then as any user, run a command 'locate xmms' ( no quotes ). The database is searched for the string ( xmms ) and will dump out the path to all files matching the string after the loacte command.

Usually you would find a user installed executable in /usr/bin. To verify what the file is, run the command 'file xmms' ( no quotes ). The system will tell you the type of file xmms is.

Here is what it looks like on my system.

This is only a partial list, every file with xmms as part of the name will show up. Note the path /usr/bin.

The file command.

The other thing you can do is launch xmms from the command line. Just type 'xmms' ( no quotes ) press enter. If it is installed, then the application will start up and appear on your desktop. Then just make a ( windoze term ) shortcut to the application. The method varies depending on the desktop you are running.
