Bruno Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hi FarmerThe system notification sounds use aRts . . and probably there lies the problem. You can however disable aRts and use an "external player" for the system sounds ( look in KDE Control Center --> Looka and Feel --> System notifications --> Player Settings ) if you use "/usr/bin/play" in that config the problem might be solved.You can test if /usrt/bin/play works by giving the command $ /usr/bin/play <path_to_soundfile.wav> ( The wav soundfiles are most likely in /usr/share/sounds ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_farmer Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) bruno,there is that "external player" but it browse for a certain filewhich file should i chose?and can i really play mp3 on redhat 8.0?i had downloaded a plugin file from gurulabs that enables to load the directory to the xmms but still can't play mp3 =( Edited October 6, 2005 by the_farmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 there is that "external player" but it browse for a certain filewhich file should i chose?Choose: /usr/bin/playand can i really play mp3 on redhat 8.0?i had downloaded a plugin file from gurulabs that enables to load the directory to the xmms but still can't play mp3 =(RedHat has a problem with mp3 files because it is not a "FREE" format . . . . . but you can get the xmms plugin on the Net.I will google for it and will let you know where to download it ( because I forgot where ) . . .in the mean time have a look where the /xmms/plugins directory is on your install so you can copy it there when you have it.

teacher Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 /home/julia/.xmms/PluginsI imagine yours would be /home/mike/.xmms/PluginsNotice the little "." before xmms. That menas the xmms folder is hidden unless you tell it to show hidden files. That's why you won't notice it in your home directory.You can simply cd /home/mike/.xmms/Plugins then ls (list) to see what is there. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacher Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 If you know where your plugins are located you can then do a cp (copy) command. Most likely they are just in /home/mike. If so you can do this $ cp (insert name of plug in here) /.xmms/Plugins/ If there are letters that are the same you can throw a wildcard (*) in there such as cp plugin* /.xmms/Plugins/If you know the name of the plugin but not where it is located you can do this [code]$ su(password)# updatedb# locate (insert name here) :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
