Good day Bill,

Hi All After been using XMMS ( 1.2.7, what came with the SUSE cd's) happily for many many months on my 8.2 box all of a sudden something is wrong. It won't start any more and below is the message I get when using the commandline:
[SNIP Gtk error messages]
A shot in the wild... Right before the problem started you updated, upgraded, installed or removed something?
Yes, I actually did. XMMS from 1.2.8 pre1 to 1.2.8. After the upgrade it didn't work anymore. I uninstalled everything related to XMMS and then installed the rpm from CD. But it still didn't work. ( see the error message) Thanks for your reply and I hope you can help me to fix this problem.
Try moving this file .. ~/.xmms/config to /tmp then starting xmms. Sometimes the config file has something in it that causes problems when going from one version to the next. Maybe between pre1 and the final something changed. :)
I've had this problem with xmms before. I my case I would just rename the dot file to something else. An "mv .xmms xmms-bad" did it for me. This would happen to me for things like plugins that would kludge on my when enabling and then having to hard kill it because it would lock up. In your case it sounds like you might have changed/upgraded a gtk packages. Or you tried to change a setting that wasn't happy and it hiccupped in a way that caused problems with Xmms. Either way you need to change the default dot xmms directory, of if looking at the config file for xmms you can figure out what isn't right and manually change it - this has helped me also in the past. But you have to know what in the config file is wrong.
