Package: xmms2
Version: 0.5 DrLecter
Severity: minor
When starting up xmms2, and the default socket already exists, it fails to
startup.
It goes like this:
$ xmms2-launcher
<Log output notice>
startup failed!
The log goes like this:
--- Starting new xmms2d ---
INFO: ../src/xmms/log.c:36: Initialized logging system :)
ERROR: ../src/xmms/ipc.c:938: Couldn't setup IPC listening on
'unix:///tmp/xmms-ipc-fcanas'.
FATAL: ../src/xmms/main.c:484: IPC failed to init!
INFO: ../src/xmms/log.c:42: Logging says bye bye :)
My (rather basic) workaround was to simply add a script on the shutdown.d
directory of my xmms2 configuration that removes the socket file (in this
case, /tmp/xmms2-ipc-fcanas).
I filed the bug as minor because my guess is that this can either be fixed
with a rather simple if-else clause, or it can be marked as wontfix
because this is the desired behaviour---xmms2 won't start if the socket is
already created.
If the latter, I would then ask that at least the user be given a bit more
info without having to resort to the log. A simple "Check if the socket is
already created" would do.
Hope it helps,
-Felipe
