| 203404 | 2004-01-01 21:57:00 | Very strange. I run both RedHat and Mandrake... | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
| 203405 | 2004-01-01 22:04:00 | > Right... I assume Linux has a reinstall feature... because I need it. That program has completely gone kaput. Yes it does. Either enter into a console windows redhat-config-packages or look for Add/Remove Applications or similiar in your Gnome menu - might be under System Settings. When Add or Remove Packages opens up, go to "Sounds & Video" and click on the Details link. Look for xmms and remove the tick from beside it and then close and then update. This should remove the package for you. You can then reinstall it the same way and you will be asked for one of the installation CD's at some point. |

Evolution will do this if it wasn't properly shut down. The process will still be running in the background so you will need to kill it. Look under System Tools on the gnome menu, or if you enter into a console window gnome-system-monitor it will pop open. Under the process listing tab, look for Evolution (there may be a few entries) and end the process. |

| 203407 | 2004-01-01 23:03:00 | Did a restart and fixed it. I think it can now play mp3... though it does seem to hang when I press play, previously I just got a message... |
Jaguar (4442) | ||
| 203408 | 2004-01-01 23:17:00 | Yeah, that doesn't work at all... just hangs... Also want to play some videos too... avi, mpg... have some Stargates to watch. :) |

| 203409 | 2004-01-01 23:35:00 | That time it got one second into the song and hung... something very fishy is going on. | Jaguar (4442) | ||
| 203410 | 2004-01-02 00:17:00 | Right-click on XMMS and go Options -Preferences click Audio I/O Plugins Configure your Output Plugin down the bottom to use Esound. If that doesnt work, then go OSS If that wont play, go ALSA If that wont work, then your soundcards not setup, so open a terminal: su - [enter root password] sndconfig Follow the prompts then try xmms again :-) Chill. |

| 203411 | 2004-01-02 00:30:00 | Excellent, works under OSS. Now I can listen to some David Bowie. I'll do some fiddling around and come moaning back here some time soon, I'm sure... remember to get in touch if you ever need anything... movies... games.. software (windows)... of course, they're not 'warez' Wink wink nudge nudge ;) |

| 203412 | 2004-01-02 01:46:00 | Jaguar> A few things to keep in mind: OSS = Opensource Sound Server - Its been depreciated for Alsa with the new 2.6 kernel, but if you're not going to be upgrading, then dont worry, OSS will do everything you need fine :-) ALSA = Advanced Linux Sounds Architecture (I hope Ive got these Acronyms right) - Its the new kid on the block thats used with the 2.6 Kernel. I'll email you later and you can get a small rpm off my ftp, I also have a fair few other rpm's you might find useful :-) Good to hear you stuck with it and have had good results from it :-) You should congratulate yourself! Cheers Chill. |
