Try to check/change your output plug-in. If you have OSS selected, this is |
2 |
what xmms will be looking for. If you want to use alsa you need to |
3 |
emerge/enable xmms-alsa. |
4 |
Also check permissions in /dev/sound if you have all modules loaded properly. |
5 |
Generally I find that xmms tends to behave somewhat strange if you have |
6 |
things slightly misconfigured. I am using alsa and I installed xmms-alsa |
7 |
plugin. In order to use xmms I need to load all appropriate alsa modules |
8 |
before I launch xmms, otherwise it segafaults and says, that I triggered the |
9 |
bug. |

Check out app-admin/{gentool,gentoolkit}. 1st is web interface for cmd line |
18 |
tools (best probably for browsing installed/possible packages), 2nd is a |
19 |
collection of additional scripts. |

See below as well. |

/var/db/pkg - mirrors /usr/portage structure, contains only installed |
26 |
packages. |

try emerge pkg-name, it will remerge the package. |

I think it is supposed to do just that. Never worked for me though. |
