xmms segfault

[Oldman]

Hi all.

	I'm having a few minor glitches in my fresh install of FC3t1.  The
first is that xmms refuses to run.  It worked fine in my original
install, and in FC2, of course.  I didn't test it prior to installing
the 100's of updates, but have tried installing the package from the
install cd.  

Ran strace xmms and sys replied:

<snip>
open("/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/xmms.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/xmms.mo", O_RDONLY) = 7
fstat64(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=66056, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 66056, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 7, 0) = 0xf6dd0000
close(7)                                = 0
fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 1), ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1,
0) = 0xf6dcf000
write(1, "\n", 1
)                       = 1
write(1, "Segmentation fault\n", 19Segmentation fault
)    = 19
write(1, "\n", 1
)                       = 1
write(1, "You\'ve probably found a bug in X"..., 50You've probably
found
a bug in XMMS, please visit
) = 50
write(1, "http://bugs.xmms.org and fill ou"..., 48http://bugs.xmms.org
and fill out a bug report.
) = 48
write(1, "\n", 1
)                       = 1
munmap(0xf6dcf000, 4096)                = 0
exit_group(1)                           = ?

Now I don't know nearly enough about what this is saying, but I did
verify that xmms.mo does exist in the last directory tried and is the
right size, has the right permissions etc. I am left with the
possibility that the problem is that st_rdev=makedev() might be
failing??  is this an incompatibility with udev, or am I just jumping to
conclusions.  So I figure I can't be alone in seeing this, right??

	Anyway it looks like it'll need a rebuild or something a little more
involved than my current level of sophistication permits.  Any help?

It's because of arts and glib1 and glib2 colliding. There's a potential
patch for arts to fix this.

xmms segfault - fonts -or arts again?

I am getting the same errors after installing xmms onto FC3T2 candidate. 
The solution to overriding the problem is to get an .xmms file from a 
previous installation and apply it to your home directory.
The last time this error happened, it was related to arts. I'm not sure 
if this is a resurfacing of the older bug.

I don't have KDE installed on this test session. Is KDE installed on 
your computer?

Anyway, this looks like it might be font related.

xmms

** WARNING **: Failed to open font: "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-10-*".

is the error that I get on the terminal w/ this particular candidate.

xmms-1.2.10-6
arts-1.3.0-1

Go ahead and submit a bug report. I see it here also.
