Re: [newbie] XMMS won't start
Try the XMMS tech support boards http://forum.xmms.org/forum They'll be more knowledgable than most of us here. I've had the same problem too before. I think I fixed it by deleting the user, and then recreating the user. Drastic yes, but it worked. I'm sure there is a simpler method though. > Were we ever able to resolve this problem with Xmms?

Re: [newbie] XMMS won't start
Were we ever able to resolve this problem with Xmms? I'm having the exact same problem. I've also tried deleting "/.xmms" folder and reinstalling xmms.

Re: [newbie] XMMS won't start
Yes, I'm playing a CD in my account right now. I honestly have no idea what could be wrong... this is the output when I try to start xmms in the consol. [chris@localhost chris]$ xmms and it just sits there.

Re: [newbie] XMMS won't start
Do other audio programs, or any programs that use any audio, work in your profile, or is it just xmms that is the problem? peace, Rog http://www.slammingrooves.com Registered Linux user #190719 On Tue, 19 Dec 2000, Chris Aakre wrote: > I'm on LM 7.2, and xmms won't start as a regular user.

[newbie] XMMS won't start
I'm on LM 7.2, and xmms won't start as a regular user. I try to start it in a console, and it just sits there with the command, doing nothing. If I try to start it from the desktop, it just shows one xmms thread doing nothing with ps aux (instead of the multiple threads it usually has). This is all cured by running xmms as root. Any ideas? I've tried deleting my .xmms directory and re-installing the rpm's, but to no avail :) -- Chris Aakre
