Package: gxine Version: 0.5.903-2 Followup-For: Bug #479232
I have this issue too, on both of my systems that are running Debian/sid. It is caused by gxine's configuration files having been moved to $HOME/.config/gxine/, while the server code is still looking at the old location. In src/server.c there is the following line: #define SOCKET_FILENAME "%s/.gxine/socket" This directory no longer exists, hence gxine can't create the socket. I've attached a trivial patch that fixes this.
