I lost my notes on how to make XMMS run as other than root for 7.3 personal. In trying to use it a window opens and them immediately closes. If I play sounds in the KDE player everything works from CD or on the HD (MP3 and OGG included). file:/etc/opt/gnome/SuSE/Multimedia/Sound/xmms.desktop file:/etc/opt/kde2/share/applnk/SuSE/Multimedia/Sound/xmms.desktop file:/etc/opt/kde2/share/applnk/work/xmms.desktop file:/etc/X11/susewm/AddEntrys/KDE2_WORK/xmms.desktop file:/etc/X11/susewm/AddEntrys/KDE_WORK/xmms.desktop file:/etc/X11/susewm/AddEntrys/SuSE/Multimedia/Sound/xmms.-636.desktop file:/etc/X11/susewm/AddEntrys/SuSE/Multimedia/Sound/xmms.desktop all have rw-r--r-- permissions with owner being root and group being root. To make xmms available for the user should the group be set to users? Its interesting that though none of the execute bits is set it works in root but not in user.

Just ignore those files. These are only needed to put an icon on your desktop and connect that with a given action. To see what really happens and to eventually see error messages, try starting xmms in an xterm (or konsole or any other terminal emulation). Philipp

Try this. mv .xmms xmms Then try to start it. Because I've done nothing special and never had it do this..and I have like 42G of mp3's that it cycles through almost continuously when I'm at home. The version I have installed is xmms-1.2.7-447 which I believe is still the default from the CD's. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.

So install lirc-0.6.6-81 and your good. YaST2 should have satisfied this dep on install unless it was specifically unchecked..even then it would bitch about it. * Carl William Spitzer IV (cwsiv@juno.com) [030815 19:36]:

Thats what gets me it did not bitch at install Remember this is Suse 7.3 so installs are quite smooth. I can only assume that the file was destroyed when the power went out. I have tried a few other fixes and they seem to be working so far. CWSIV On Fri, 15 Aug 2003 20:05:01 -0700 Ben Rosenberg <ben@whack.org> writes:

Ok. So don't install that version number. Just remove the 7.3 pkg of lirc and reinstall it. It should be fine. * Carl William Spitzer IV (cwsiv@juno.com) [030816 20:20]:
