Has anyone successfully installed xmms in Lucid?

[ka9qlq]

Has anyone successfully installed xmms in Lucid? I am not a nubie to Linux but I'll be danged if I can get xmms2 to be user-friendly. I know xmms is not supported anymore but it doesn't need upgrading, it works fine and has lots of cool plugins.

Re: Has anyone successfully installed xmms in Lucid?

Well I added ppa:ibid-ag/oldgtk1 and ppa:falk-t-j/lucid but it still says

xmms:
Depends: libglib1.2ldbl (>=1.2.10-18) but 1.2.10-0ubuntu0+ppa2 is to be installed
Depends: libgtk1.2 (>=1.2.10-4) but 1.2.10-0ubuntu0+ppa6 is to be installed

I installed libglib1.2ldbl and libgtk1.2 first and still get the error and yes I ran update. GRRRR
Ideas?

A Simulation

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ibid-ag/oldgtk1

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -s install xmms

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xmms: Depends: libglib1.2ldbl (>= 1.2.10-18) but it is not installable
Depends: libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.10-4) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

Searching libgtk1.2 from the PPA repos ... > gtk1.2

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:adamkoczur/gtk1.2

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -s install xmms

That dude it thanks!!!! Love you guys even if you have stinky feet
Now I tried installing xmms-goodnight plugin and it wants libglib1.2 not libglib1.2ldbl I don't guess anyone knows where I could get a new goodnight plugin?

Re: Has anyone successfully installed xmms in Lucid?

man ln

NAME
ln - make links between files

SYNOPSIS
ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME (1st form)

-s, --symbolic
make symbolic links instead of hard links

sudo ln - s (path)/libglib1.2ldbl (path)/libglib1.2

Where (path) is the path to libglib1.2ldbl which may be /lib

BUT, you will need to add the appropriate extension to the library name. I don't have that library. Mine is:

/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.2400.1
/lib32/libglib-2.0.so
/lib32/libglib-2.0.so.0
/lib32/libglib-2.0.so.0.2400.1

So, my softlink for YOUR library file would be something like this:

sudo ln - s /lib/libglib1.2ldbl.so.0 /lib/libglib1.2.so.0

Ditto for the lib32 library.

This may work because the shared library vector address table may be identical up to the point where the new functions where added. If it doesn't just rm the LINK, not the real library!

Re: Has anyone successfully installed xmms in Lucid?

Funny that occured to me at lunch. Here's the thing though when I looked I found libglib-1.2.so.0 which links to libglib-1.2.so.0.0.10 already
ls libglib* shows
libglib-1.2.so.0 libglib-2.0.a libglib-2.0.so libglibmm-2.4.so.1.3.0 libglibmm_generate_extra_defs-2.4.so.1.3.0 libglib-1.2.so.0.0.10 libglib-2.0.la libglibmm-2.4.so.1 libglibmm_generate_extra_defs-2.4.so.1

The plugin even works, but apt-get calls it broken and keeps trying to uninstall it confusing
