Error in installing XMMS

#1 Post by hanuman »

I failed installing XMMS, some good guys suggest:

Use the dotpup.

If it does not work:
type "xmms" in a console.

If you get an error like "Bad Match", then edit /root/.xmms/config

Replace the lines there with this:

Code:
[xmms]
eq_doublesize_linked=FALSE
doublesize=FALSE
show_wm_decorations=FALSE


BUT THE FOLDER AND FILE /root/.xmms/config DO NOT EXIST


**Here is the dotpup installation ERROR MESSAGE:
There was an error expanding package xmms.pup.
Either the file is corrupted, or has not expanded into its own directory with
name of xmms.pup/ (which is how most packages expand).
You will have to go into /root/.packages/ directory and manually clean it up.

This script will now exit...

**I TRIED ANOTHER PACKAGE:
There was an error expanding package dillo85patched.pup.
...
This script will now exit...(SAME MESSAGE)

**AGAIN ANOTHER PACKAGE:
There was an error expanding package monkey091.pup.
... :roll: :roll: :roll:

Is your pup001 full?

In a console, type:

df -m

This should report such a line:

Code: Select all

/dev/loop1                 710       311       369  46% /root
This means that /root (pup001) has 369 MB free.
If that is "0" for you, you must either resize pup001 (menu - utilities - resize) or delete packages / files.
