When I run xmms from terminal su - it works perfectly. When run as user from terminal, the whole system comes to a grinding holt as if something is using all of the resources, I can't even use the keyboard to try switch terminals or kill the process. The system hacks very badly causing me to hit the reset button, I waited 15 minutes last time for response from the mouse, but it just hangs there. There is hdd LED activity but its slow and inconsistent. I did uninstall xmms on the next reboot. tried installing from different rpms and repositories but get the same results, thus eliminating the rpms and repos as the problem. Question is where to from here, How does one find the prob and fix? Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
