segmentation fault in xmms

[whoiam55]

I don't know what happens, I switch off my computer last night in working condition. in morning I tried starting xmms, but I was not starting. I open the shell then I tried running from shell (shell usually spit more error). I got this

whoiam55@Kubuntu:~$ xmms

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Segmentation fault
whoiam55@Kubuntu:~$

I know a segmentation fault occurrs when a program attempts to access memory where it isnt susposed to. The kernel then stops the program and gives you the infamous "Segmentation Fault". C is a very good language to make segmentation faults b/c there is no memory checking.

But I can't understand why I'm getting this from xmms wine also showing same wrror. Any idea what could be the problem ?

Re: segmentation fault in xmms

that sounds really wierd. Easiest thing would probably be to just reinstall xmms and wine. seg faults are frustrating and I get them all the time when I am coding. It can take some time to debug it. Maybe a file became corrupt or got deleted, so now memory management within the program is a little messed up.

Deinstall LibFLAC if you don't use it. Solved the problem in my case.
Goodluck

PS. LibFLAC can be found on sourceforge, http://flac.sourceforge.net/api/

already done, seems some problem with my system, may be it's effect of running a customised kernel. it seems I have to leave the xmms, Nowadays I'm in love with amarok
