Xine startup problem under FC5

[Samuel Díaz García]

I'm using gnome and when I double click over a movie file, xine open the 
file and reproduce it.

That is the normal behaviour, but when my laptop is online for many ours 
and I try to do the same (double click over a movie file), xine goes to 
lookup in the splash window and don't open the movie.

I had seen into:

/var/log/gdm/*log
/var/log/messages
/var/log/Xorg*log

files without success.

I think the problem is with alsa, because sometimes, some apps (after 
hours of activity) can't open the device, but searching the logs, can't 
found any messages.

Could anybody help me?

Sound like a sound device lock problem.
Open the Xine configuration and look for the sound configuration: How is
configured?

Gnome sound problem after many hours (was Re: Xine startup problem under FC5)

[Samuel Díaz García]

For example, I reboot my laptop, and some hour later, I try to use some 
application that uses sound. Messages about /dev/null used or 
application crash or xine lock while trying something accurs.

Is as gnome lost the sound device and the apps don't find it.

I allwais need to restart genome (logout and login) to the sound returns.

Another app that crash is gaim (it locks), or k3b (it "uses" /dev/null), 
xine locks, etc...

I detect the problem in the morning. I have configured xscreensaver 
instead of gnome-screensaver because xine knows how to lock xscreensaver 
when I play fullscreen movies.

Any help about the sound under gnome? It is horrible to stop browsers, 
amule, and many other aplications and then restart gnome.

Any hint?

Gnome sound problem after many hours (was Re: Xine startup problem under FC5)

[Samuel Díaz García]

Appears to be a problem with the sound with GAIM, when GAIM is running, 
no other application can use the sound.

A posible workaround (I expect it works) is disable the sound in GAIM, 
but I need the sound with gaim when I'm working to take care of messages 
received.

Any more stable solution?

Thanks

Gaim lets you pick the sound system that it'll use, the "sound method"
option in the preferences.  Have you tried the alternatives?

(Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.

Gnome sound problem after many hours (was Re: Xine startup problem under FC5)

[Samuel Díaz García]

Is in "auto". The other options are:
- ESD
- Arts
- "run command"
- "console beep"

I think my system is using ALSA, but I don't know now how to see that.

Any help more?

Fire up an xterm or gnome-terminal and run xine like this instead of
whatever method you used:

xine --verbose=9

The last messages before the freeze should be relevant.
