Posted: Sat Apr 03, 2004 8:32 am Post subject: Problem with installation of xmms-arts-0.7.1 |
|
|
Hi all:
I just emerged the newest version of the "xmms-arts" package, but I noticed that the
"libarts.so" and "libarts.la" were not automatically copied to the "/usr/lib/xmms/Output"
directory: thus, I could not select the "libarts" output module from XMMS' Preferences
window because it was not even shown in the drop-down menu.
Am I missing something, or is the ebuild script not doing something it's supposed to do
for the installation to be complete?
As a workaround, what I did was add "keepwork" and "keeptemp" to the "FEATURES"
stanza of "make.conf" and I went into the "/var/tmp/portage/xmms-arts-0.7.1/image/usr/lib/xmms/Output" directory and manually
copied "libarts.so" and "libarts.la" from there to "/usr/lib/xmms/Output".
This worked just fine, but I'd like to know if I did something wrong, or if the installation
script for "xmms-arts-0.7.1" is actually erroneous.
Kind regards,
Rafa |

I have the same problem... it seems to be a problem with the ebuild. It essentially installs libarts.la and libarts.so into /var/tmp/portage/image/usr/lib/xmms/Output/, which gets cleaned up as you saw yourself. I guess I should report the bug...
But no, you did not do anything wrong.

I solved it replacing this line "make DESTDIR=${D} libdir=${D}`xmms-config --output-plugin-dir` install || die"
by this one: "einstall libdir=${D}/usr/lib/xmms/Output || die" in the ebuild.
(this last line is from xmms-arts-0.6.0)
It installs fine and the output works, but it makes xmms laggy, tell me if you get the same problem. |

Yup, changing the ebuild fixed it for me, too, although mine was slightly different:
make DESTDIR=${D}
einstall libdir=${D}`xmms-config --output-plugin-dir` || die
I guess getting the output from "xmms-config --output-plugin-dir" ensures this will work even if the output plugin directory has been changed.
Deepwave was kind enough to open a bug on this matter (46681, in case anyone is interested in tracking its progress) and I uploaded my modified ebuild file to speed up the process.
Regarding the lagginess of xmms, I am experiencing it too when changing tracks or fast forwarding or rewinding. I sort of remember having read somewhere that it had to do with having to wait for a 5-second buffer to empty before any "changes" to the output stream were reflected, but I'll defer to someone else with more knowledge on the matter to comment on it.
Kind regards,
Rafa |

Are there any solutions for the lag problem? My xmms also lags with arts but mplayer works just fine. Switching back to plain alsa would suck, since I couldn't couldn't run xmms and mplayer at the same time anymore |

Hmm... I was too lazy to change the ebuild so I used artsdsp xmms.
(artsdsp is a sound wrapper for arts that catches sound events sent to a soundserver because aRts hogs /dev/dsp)
And yes I got the same lag. Maybe this a general arts/xmms problem. Better go ask the aRts people about this one... _________________ Current open source project: justCheckers, a cross-platform checkers suite. |

Well, maybe it is with the new arts, but this didn't happen before kde 3.2, with arts-xmms-0.4x |

OH... that lag... that is the buffer.
Just decrease the buffer in the configuration in the arts plugin. _________________ Current open source project: justCheckers, a cross-platform checkers suite. |

Yes, I know it's the buffer, but I repeat, this didn't happen before kde-3.2
I'm not sure if it's a problem with arts or xmms-arts, but this shouldn't happen. |
