Hello, my friend!
Great many thanks from me!
I REALLY ploughed the Internet for days until I found your page!
You saved the day!

Thanks !!! XMMS rocks the party that rocks the party !!!
Ubuntu 8.04 would be crap without XMMS.

Thanks

This works perfectly. Thanks.

Great tutorial. Streamtuner requires XMMS, which seems strange to me that there isn’t a dependency.

Editing the menu in KDE to add the XMMS icon is very easy. Right click on Multimedia and select “Edit Menu”. The screen will be very similar to what’s in this tutorial.

Great…it’s easiest way to install xmmms on my ubuntu 8.04, it’s working now, thank’s

Thx a lot!!!!

Thanks!! Now I can use Streamtuner again!!!
This is an invaluable write-up.

Very good job!!!

Thanks for this great tutorial, it’s easy to install, works fine on my eeepc 900 with processor optimization (celeron M) and gcc4.2.

The only bug is when I select the size x2 … it crash
But finally, I enjoy to have again XMMS … ThX a LoT !.!.!

Works like a charm – thanks.

8.04 is the worse version I have sued (used 4.10)

Thanks, exelent tip, How to uninstal XMMS on Ubuntu 8.04 ?

Thanks
Even better sratek explaination

I meant this is much better from the explanation from sartek. thanks again

but after I installed it, I tried to play wma files. and no sound come out.

Cool! thanks, needed it for streamtuner and dvd::rip (which i want to use for genuine reasons) – what is the reason for being removed from the repository? Is it a licence issue for a component of the app?

Thanks very much. I’m not a programmer and I’m new to ubuntu (Kubuntu actually) butI’ve been using xmms on Mandrake/Mandriva for 6 years now. I was/am amazed that xmms was not included with ubuntu.

Any suggestion as to why the X2 feasture doesn’t work? The default xmms window is really tiny on today’s hi-res screens.

Anyway thanks again. I really appreciate it.

Thank you very much – this worked like a champ on my R51 IBM laptop, running Kubuntu 8.04. Another step further away from Microsoft; this is a good thing!

Thank you.

Thanks a lot…

Thanks mate.. Installing.

Hey great stuff. Ubuntu should listen and put it back in the reps..!!!

Cool thanks, it works. Without even changing a step. Good work buddy keep posting these king of stuff

There is some update info on xmms here, incl. a repository and wma and mp4:
http://colonos.wordpress.com/2008/11/01/dont-cross-the-river-for-water-xmms-deb-for-intrepid/

Omg, it really works!!! Thank you so much, you saved my day

tks
one more time, you saved the day

Another linux newbie tryin to figure things out.

This is a great “how to” btw, but I’m still having troubles. This is probably (hopefully) a no brainer, but I’m startin to go nuts. I’m running heron 8.04 on a acer aspireone. I went through all the steps listed above and I think the problems started when got to the “Run configure with –prefix=/usr” step which gave the below output:

I’m not exactly sure what GLIB is, but I ran “locate glib” from root and it’s all over the place so I think it’s installed? Anyway, when I click on the XMMS icon from the app menu i get the error – “failed to execute child process “xmms” (no such file or dir)”

Again I’m a new, newbie so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot man ! that was an outstanding tip. It worked perfectly

@Uwe Brauer and anyone else who gets the

“xmms: error while loading shared libraries: libxmms.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

error. xmms is looking for the file libxmms.so.1 in the directory /usr/lib/ , whereas you probably put it in /usr/local/lib/. To fix, make a symbolic link between the two:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libxmms.so.1 /usr/lib/libxmms.so.1

muchas gracias, es muy bueno

Thanks
Work very fine on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

Thanks alot

Thanks a lot!! Tried in Kubuntu 9.04, works perfectly.

Thanks XMMS is the best mp3 player on linux for me, just cannot change it for the buggy audacious.
XMMS rocks the party that rocks the party !!!

@the bone

I solved the crash by simply set env variable XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS to 1.
