I'm no longer able to see song titles, volume control, or anything else that I used to be able to see when using xosd with the xmms-xosd plugin. For the heck of it, I ran osd_cat [which lets you display test messages in X] to see if it was just the plugin or the xosd library itself. This is what I got: grandpajive@gentoo grandpajive $ osd_cat mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/bin/.libs': Permission denied /usr/bin/osd_cat: cd: /var/tmp/portage/xosd-1.0.0-r1/work/xosd-1.0.0/src: No such file or directory gcc: osd_cat.o: No such file or directory gcc: ./.libs/libxosd.so: No such file or directory So.. yeah. I think something got goofed up with the xosd-1.0.0-r1 ebuild. So I wasn't 100% sure to file this under applications or ebuild.. tho the ebuild does sucessfully complete. I unmerged and re-emerged both programs just in case there was something erratic with my system. Same results.
The reason for the osd_cat error at least is the fact that the wrapper script instead of the actuall executable gets copied to /usr/bin. The actuall executable is located in .libs in the src directory.
This seems to be fixed in 1.0.2. I removed the contents in /var/tmp/portage and could still use osd_cat. Please report if you have any further problmes with xosd.
