Yes, but that doesn't launch it if it's already running; my tendency is to stuff it in osso-statusbar-cpu or personal-menu; that way I don't need to remember it , and it brings all windows to an exactly known state regardless of anything, from one icon/menu item...

Still, whatever works for you; glad to have provided a good starting point.

Yes, it does. I just tested it. It brought it right back. Honest, with my level, I would not have known what difference does it make when compared to your long command, but it does bring it back and I do not have to remember a long command. The bottom line, as you put it, whatever it works.

OK, it didn't when I tried it, way back when... maybe I did something wrong then.

(But you really don't have to remember it; that's what launchers are for...)

Hey, please do not look at me as argumentary. That nice trick you showed me I am using it EVERYDAY. To the Linux expert like you, it is a piece of cake to get some commands into script. To me, the linuxiot, even try to make some customized typing like 'sudo gainroot' or 'exit' is like pulling teeth, not to mention a large long command line like that. I am very sure you would not aware of most users are much less technical 'savvy' as they appear. For me, whatever you see me did it, that is already 'take it to the limit', that is already ALL the Linux I have.

Anyway, your way is complete and brings everything back, my shortcut will bring only the player back. Not the same thing, not as elegant.

it's a harmful app for IT?

Resurrecting this thread a bit, I wrote some detailed instructions for installing xmms on diablo. I created a very small .deb to help new installations get up and running easily.

Not quite why there are problems in using xmms. Apparantly it hanged, wont play, give warning about missing fonts etc. and problem in installation. Anyway, I just resurrected my xmms today, may as well jot it down in case somebody will find it useful at some point.

Installation: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=234 gives a pretty detail summary. I uninstalled and reinstalled to test the repository. Upon initial installation, it did have file dependency problems, which I solved by using apt-get install. Upon reinstallation, one type in the repository, just click the xmms in appManager will get it installed.

Hiccups:
Warning missing fonts.... http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...s+fonts&page=3, #110. Warning persisted, but now one can see and fix the ALSA output and xmms will then play;
- xterm
- export LANG="C"

Wont play/hang: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=301817, #27;
- O>Preference>Output plugin change from ALSA to eSound

Bring back from minimize:
- xterm
- xmmsctrl main 0 main 1

You have to install xmmsctrl for this to work.
Still the ONLY maemo player has equalizer.

enjoy,

Thank you Bun!

I've been wanting to get this back ever since I upgraded to 2008 OS but with all of the confusion surrounding this app I finally gave up, until now.

To be honest, I gave that up too for several months, not until qole said it works, so I decide to play with it and it is working like a charm right now. It still gives the error message about the fonts but it simply works.

Never used it before!

Thank you Bun!
