I have audacious (non-GTK) running for some time now, without any problems. Since a recent emerge, it behaves strange: A couple of days ago, I launched it (selecting a file in Konqueror and “Open with ›”), it opened with a strange (GTK?) all-in-one window. I didn't look bad, and it played music. So I didn't think too much of it. Now, when I start it with a file as parameter from command line, it will play fine. But it doesn't open a player, and it's also not in the systray. When I start it without arguments, it appears to start, but it doesn't do anything. When I start it with strace, it repeats the following lines: poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 5, 250) = 0 (Timeout) read(9, 0x7fff443900d0, 72) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) read(7, 0x16281e4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 5, 249) = 0 (Timeout) Don't know if it's relevant, though.

Also, it seems that 2.4-beta1 created files without registering them in Portage. When I try to downgrade to 2.3, I get the following: * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below). [… blabla …] * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/share/audacious/ui/carbon-menubar.ui * /usr/share/audacious/ui/equalizer.ui * /usr/share/audacious/ui/mainwin.ui * /usr/share/audacious/ui/player.ui * /usr/share/audacious/ui/playlist.ui ======== After removing these files manually and downgrading to audacious-2.3 and audacious-plugins-2.3, everything is back to normal (except the tray icon image is broken and shows just a question mark.)

(In reply to comment #2) > The very design of Portage makes this impossible. I see now that those are files which have been moved from the base package to the plugins, and an up-/downgrade of a package won't delete other packages' files. That of course explains the package collision. > This bug was identified and fixed, you should find that 2.4-beta2 works > correctly in this scenario. Unfortunately not. First a correction of my bug report. The GTKish thing I saw was actually MPlayer, which for some reason became my standard mp3 player in KDE. :? So this had nothing to do with Audacious, at least nothing considering the scope of this bug. As for my experience with 2.4 beta 2: I still have the same symptoms. I can play files with Audacious, but I don't see a player. Running “audacious2” from command line without arguments it seems to run, but it doesn't show the player, and no messages. [… long period of playing around …] However, I was able to narrow it down and find the problem: In “~/.config/audacious/config”, in the in the “[gtkui]” section, there is an entry “player_visible=FALSE”. This entry didn't make any problems with 2.3 … and, to make it clear, I had never edited that file before. But in 2.4, when I delete that particular line, and start audacious, the player is visible. The trayicon is still missing. However, the view is not the “classical view” which I prefer, but the GTK view. I had to manually select “View → Interface → Classic Winamp Interface”. Then the player disappeared again. (Audacious was still running, though.) I then decided to `rm -r .config/audacious/ .cache/audacious/ .local/share/audacious/` and setup Audacious again. Now everything works so far. I have reopened the bug, but if you say this is a configurational and/or local problem, you're welcome to close it again.
That is indeed an unfortunate configuration problem that I believe to *result* from 2.4-beta1 which will not reoccur in 2.4-beta2. As such, there is nothing for Audacious to fix.
