INSTALL xmms on 14.04

This is an update as earlier threads are now out of date; and some still like the old Swedish beast known as xmms ... so here an easy way to get it fired up on the latest versions of U

1. go to >> software-properties-gtk and add >>

deb http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~knuta/xmms/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~knuta/xmms/ubuntu karmic main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ibid-ag/oldgtk1/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ibid-ag/oldgtk1/ubuntu lucid main

and reload

2. find online and install [sometimes needed but not always]

x11proto-core-dev_7.0.17-1_all.deb
x-dev_7.0.11-1_all.deb

3. then enter
Code:
sudo apt-get install xmms  xmms-cueinfo xmms-mp4plugin   xmms-wavpack
4. to add flac >> add
5. to add shorten >> the codec and the xmms plugin

=========

you may need to move libshn.so libxmms-flac.so to cd /usr/lib/xmms/Input/ otherwise plugins will not be seen

see below >>>

shantiq@shantiq-00000000000000000000000:/usr/lib64/xmms/Input$ ls
libshn.so libxmms-flac.so
shantiq@shantiq-00000000000000000000000:/usr/lib64/xmms/Input$ sudo mv * /usr/lib/xmms/Input/
shantiq@shantiq-00000000000000000000000:/usr/lib64/xmms/Input$ ls
shantiq@shantiq-00000000000000000000000:/usr/lib64/xmms/Input$ cd
shantiq@shantiq-00000000000000000000000:~$ cd /usr/lib/xmms/Input/
shantiq@shantiq-00000000000000000000000:/usr/lib/xmms/Input$ ls
libcdaudio.la libmikmod.la libmp4.la libmpg123.la libshn.so libtonegen.so libvorbis.so libwavpack.la libwav.so

PS to make sure all your accents cyrillic and other diacritics are seen properly do this [only font to do all european languages]

PS 2 install should be fine on 14.10 and maybe 15.04 too but have not personally tested; comment if you do please
