G'day, well this is a clean install of Mandrake from scratch, I've done almost no stuffing around with it - I'm just beginning to find my way around, reading things and watching the pretty visualizations in XMMS :) So I don't think anything should be corrupted this early... But I tried, went to add/remove programs: it took me to a page which let me add programs, but I couldn't see any way to remove anything. Anyhow, I installed it again, thinking that maybe it would write files over the old ones.

I guess they have some > more work to do on the xine GUI :) G'day, I tried 'arts' [after trying a few ways I found you have to click on the word 'null', go left with the arrow keys, delete the characters to the right, and only then can you type in a new value. Oh, and yes, you have to hit enter before leaving the page or the change won't hold...] anyway, arts produces the same result - pic but no sound. 'xine --help' tells me the available drivers are null and oss, but when I tried oss, it just flashes on the screen for a second or so then disappears.

I ended up removing and then reinstalling the xine package and it started to work again. The config file is the same as the previous load, so I'm assuming (guessing) that a file got corrupted somehow and reinstalling xine fixed it. HTH Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
