Description of problem: I ran xmms using the 'Run Application' dialog in the Gnome menu. It managed to get the initial splash on the screen, and then cursor went dead. I tried gdb /usr/bin/xmms, but when I did 'run', same thing happened. Possibly interesting lines were off the screen when it hung. Something about using threads.. Perhaps an interesting kernel test (??) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [user1@hoho2 user1]$ date Thu Jul 8 14:58:06 CDT 2004 [user1@hoho2 user1]$ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.7-1.476smp (bhcompile.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.1 20040702 (Red Hat Linux 3.4.1-2)) #1 SMP Wed Jul 7 14:56:17 EDT 2004 [user1@hoho2 user1]$ rpm -q xmms xmms-1.2.10-4 [user1@hoho2 user1]$ How reproducible: I tried it twice, once with gdb. I was able to run it a month or so ago (but no sound - see bug 124749 ) Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/bin/xmms Actual results: Hung system Expected results: I want to play my CD digitally. xmms was a possibe solution. see bug 124749 Additional info:
OK, works fine now - for the last few kernels. Am up to 488smp with no problem - at least apparently Kernel-wise. Thanks much. works for me
