No xmms, xine and emacs as normal user
|
|
|
| I'm a newbie using Debian Woody. Everything works fine as root but I obviously don't want to spend all my time logged in as root.
Here's the description of the problem : when I'm root, I can run xmms (arts output), xine and emacs, all those apps work fine.
When I'm logged as a normal user, xmms just freezes, xine starts and shuts down as soon as it's open and I've got the following error message when trying to launch emacs from console :
Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
No fonts match `-*-*-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15'
I really don't understand what's going on. The strange thing is that xmms sometimes work as normal user but most of the time it freezes, whether I use KDE2 or WindowMaker.
I've of course added the normal user "jay" to the audio group (#adduser jay audio).
By the way, I haven't installed the alsa drivers yet. I'm currently using oss. Could the problem come from that?
Thanks in advance.

jay@debian:-$ xmms

libmikmod.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

** If you have the alsa output plugin installed maybe but it uses oss by
default

Apparently you are missing some of the required run-time libraries.
Find which one/ones it is, and install it.

ldd /usr/bin/xmms
see which library is missing.

Thanks for your reply. I checked all the libraries, apt-get install'ed all
the missing ones and I still have that problem : when I run xmms as non
root, it just locks up. Now it tells me this :
Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation
Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-15
Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-15
Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation
Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-15
Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-15
Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation
Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-15
Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-15
mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding
The strange thing is that I do have that locale, I checked by typing
dpkg-reconfigure locales 
That problem is really stupid because everything works when I'm root but I
sure don't want to spend all my time as root (

This sound like a locale problem.
Try
dpkg-reconfigure locale
Try to choose more than just 1 fonts.
And make sure your have ISO8859-15 in there.
If this is not the problem...
Your might be missing xfont packages.
And also just make sure all dependencies are met.. run:
# apt-get -f install.
Good luck.
