Howdy!
I know this is a trivial issue, but after installing
*just* xmms, I was unable to apply any of my skins. At first,
I thought that perhaps the newest version of xmms was having
issues with winamp skins, so I didn't think much of it, and
installed the xmms-skins package, thusly:
# rpm -ivh xmms-skins-1.0.0-12mdk.noarch.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
unzip is needed by xmms-skins-1.0.0-12mdk
Eureka! After installing unzip, my skins work fine.
I realize this is quite clear from a look at man xmms:
UNZIPCMD Command for decompressing zip files (skins).
Default is unzip.
but when the unzip command is unvailable, the re-skin operation
fails silently, leaving xmms working just fine, but with the
default skin. This could frustrate a true newbie, who only
launches xmms from the menu. (if run from the shell, xmms
complains to stderr:
$ xmms
sh: unzip: command not found
I know that a newbie ending up with a system lacking unzip but
with xmms is relatively unlikely, but one never knows...
