uniacid Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 I was wondering if anyone could help me with some problems and questions I got with Linux. I'm using Red Hat 8 with the newest kernel, anyways I got a audigy and appearently its working in linux, since I can hear noises from (gaim, sound test) but when I try to play an mp3 with xmms (newest version) it doesn't play at all, when I click on the file it opens xmms then I click play but the mp3 file wont load onto the playlist, and then sometimes it even crashes (xmms) so I was wondering what could be up :blink: Now another thing, is how can I set up a network and share my net on linux to my other pc that is on winxp ? And concerning the xmms problem I downloaded a mp3 i uploaded on my site and also when I set up linux to be able to read ntfs filesys's I copied a mp3 over but got the same result :/ I would appreciate any help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezz Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 RedHat 8.0 has removed support MP3 in the XMMS, because of license issue. I suggest you to check -> http://osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1890&page=4 .. >> Now another thing, is how can I set up a network and share my net on linux to my other pc that is on winxp ?

pagal Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 for Mp3s: (an easier alternative) go to http://psyche.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=107 and download xmms-mp3-1.2.7-13.p.i386.rpm; double-click to install. for Network: you'll have to configure samba. search for samba on this site as well as www.google.com/linux good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagal Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 you can also install "winetools" from www.frankscorner.org/wine. I found it very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
