No I hadn't ;-) logging out is not something I'm willing to do [*], BTW I'm running KDE here I just meant to tell you that I'm sure artsd is suspended nicely and is not blocking the way. For instance Mplayer works, mpg123 works in the console as well and if I use this KDE thingy to tell me the state of artsd it will say "suspended". I just tried moving out the whole of mine ~/.xmms and guess what? It just got worse... ================== After moving out the whole of my personal configuration and having this reinstalled: dpkg -l | grep xmms ii xmms 1.2.10+cvs2005 Versatile X audio player that looks ii xmms-fmradio 1.5-1 FM Radio input plugin for XMMS ii xmms-status-pl 1.0.0-2 Status panel applet for XMMS 1. I load 14 files a) all are local files, that I own and have access to. b) I've played them before with xmms and I can play them with mplayer or amaroK. xmms will skip the first 13 and stop at the 14th and happily play this one. If I try to select any other song, they will all be skipped and xmms stops at the last song again and plays it. If I remove the last song, xmms skipps all and now stops at stops at current last song. Shuffling the playlist makes xmms stop at the last song in the playlist... ---- If I hit the repeat button "REP" (which I had on by default), I get the behavior I had before: all songs in the list including the one that was just playing start to be skipped and none will play. If I use random "RAND", xmms will be flipping songs for some 3 secs and then will start playing a random song. But I can't select "next". If I click on another title, same thing happens, bunch are skipped and xmms stops at a random one. I would guess that it is skipping N-1 out of N songs and stopping at the last Nth random song since once this song is done with xmms will do all the jumping and skipping again but it won't actually play the newly selected song. Any ideas? ---- At least now I'm sure (?) (no! never sure)... at least now I'm more confident that this is not my fault ;-) Cheers, -- Francisco. __o `\<, _____(*)/(*)_____ [*] I don't want to logout because I'm running some long jobs on tyhe konsole here and yes I did not use nohup and I am afraid of simply disowning them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
