Cannot install XMMS with yum

Thomm · #1 30th April 2005, 11:53 AM

Right, I've been trying for days to install some form of MP3 player on my FC3. The sound works and I can use music player to play any ogg files, but obviously most of my music is MP3. I've been trying to install xmms, but I've been having major trouble every time I try. I downloaded the rpm from freshrpms, and got this message:

Code:

So I need the Glibs or something?

And that happens. Then, I read somewhere that you can simply install xmms using yum, so I followed the instructions HERE, but it still doesn't work:

Code:

This is driving me mad. Please help!

PS Any help you give will have to be very simple, or have step-by-step instructions. I'm pretty new to this game...

Thank you!

bitrain · #2 30th April 2005, 12:12 PM

Can you try this:

Code:

yum --disablerepo=freshrpms install xmms

And then for mp3 support:

Code:

yum --disablerepo=freshrpms install xmms-mp3

Thomm · #3 30th April 2005, 12:42 PM

Thanks for the help, I thought that was going to work, but then at the very last minute, Boom!

Any ideas?

You have to get the gpg key for the dag repo installed.
Write rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt as root in your console. That should make the dag repo work.

Thank you. The installation seemed to go without a hitch, and then I did the xmms-mp3 thing and that worked nicely too, as far as I could tell. But where the hell is my xmms? I even rebooted and I can't find it. Am I being dumb?

EDIT: It's working (

), but there's no shortcut on the K menu thing. Should there be? How do I get one? Thanks!

EDIT 2: I'm really an idiot, aren't I. Who'd've thought XMMS would be simply called "Audio Player"? Problem solved. But I might be back when I want to play some videos

Try mplayer

, there are how-to for it in the how-to section in this forum!

imdeemvp · #7 30th April 2005, 05:50 PM

Here is how-to for your multimedia needs.

Vinneh · #8 30th April 2005, 05:54 PM

mplayer also has an xmms plugin

Thank you, that FAQ looks most useful.

I said I'd be back didn't I? Well I have a bit of a problem with MPlayer. God knows what I've done, but it doesn't work. When I click the icon or try and open a file in MPlayer, a little box flashes up in the middle of the screen and then disappears way to quickly to see what it actually says. Any ideas?

Thanks.

tejas · #10 1st May 2005, 04:45 PM

Install xine, it is much better than mplayer if you are desperate

Open MPlayer from the terminal, your error may be output there also

#11 1st May 2005, 04:51 PM

For the Mplayer problem:

Open up a console shell and type the following command:

gmplayer

Then try to play the media file which created the problem. Paste the text created in the console here.

At this point it just stops, doesn't even cut back to a root prompt.

Could it be anything to do with the fact that I (for some reason) seemingly have two Mplayers installed? Under Sound & Video I have an icon for Mplayer and also one for Media player. Are they the same thing? I may have installed another instance via yum without realising I already had it.

I'll try xine now anyway

#13 1st May 2005, 04:57 PM

Xine, and the front end program named gxine, works very well for me too. I use mplayer as a backup.

#14 1st May 2005, 05:16 PM

About the mplayer problem:

It looks like mplayer is searching for a library file named:

/usr/lib/libdha.so.1

This file is an mplayer feature included in a package named mplayer-vidix and a decription of this feature is

"VIDIX is the abbreviation for VIDeo Interface for *niX.
VIDIX was designed and introduced as an interface for fast user-space
drivers providing DGA everywhere where it's possible (unlike X11).
I hope that these drivers will be as portable as X11 (not only on *nix).
* What is it: It's a portable successor of mga_vid technology, but it's
located in user-space.
* Unlike X11 it provides DGA everywhere it's possible
* Unlike v4l it provides interface for video playback
* Unlike linux's drivers it uses the math library"

What you might need to do, to make mplayer work for you, is to install the package mplayer-vidix and also mplayer-vidix-ATI-Rage128. This last file is compile specifically for video car architecture.

A repop with maplyer packages is located at:
http://rpm.greysector.net/apt/fc3/RPMS.stable/

And skins and codecs are located at:
http://rpm.greysector.net/apt/all/RPMS.stable/

Also, be aware, the location of the codecs built by the mplayer organization has changed from /usr/lib/win32 to /usr/lib/codecs. If you use xine based appilcations with these codecs packages you will need to configure the player to point to this new codecs location.

EDIT:
Can you use i386/i686 build packages on a 64 bit machine?

I guess you did want to follow the tuturial I linked for mplayer.....you would not be having the problem.
