Hello Reuben, Wednesday, March 20, 2002, 1:52:32 PM, you textually orated:
RDB> Hi, RDB> When I tried to play mp3s using xmms, it gives the following error in the RDB> console that runs it: RDB> arts_init error: can't connect to aRts soundserver RDB> I know aRts has something to do with KDE. I used to use KDE, but then I RDB> switched to FVWM. The question is, why does xmms need aRts soundserver? It doesn't. But because the first time you ran it you were in KDE it was able to detect that arts was there and it set itself up to use it (there would have been conflicts otherwise). You can simply delete the .xmms directory in your home dir and start xmms or you can compare the config files from your two machines to see what the difference in the line below is (the one shown is likely what you have in yours). output_plugin=/usr/lib/xmms/Output/libartsout.so If you hand edit it you risk other things going wrong, but the option is there for you. Have fun, -- _________________________________________________________________ Brian Ashe CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
