Hello PPL Please tell me some has the same problem. I upgrade my xmms to 1.2.10 x from livna.org and it has messed up permissions somewhere. It works if run under root but not users, So I chmod u+s /usr/bin/xmms but still, Anyone know where the actuall problem lies? -- Chadley - Linux Rocks Welcome to my world. ****************************************************************** This mail is free for distribution.
