Hello,
I've been using cmus for some time without any problems, on the same machine, with almost identical SW setup.
After reinstallation of the system, cmus cannot start properly.
I enter 'cmus' command and there is no error shown, the prompt becomes busy in the new line, producing no expected effect.
[adam@hal tmp]$cmus
^C
[adam@hal tmp]$I'm using alsa, tried launching cmus with X and without X running.
In general audio is working fine (tired vlc and youtube in firefox).
Cmus process is launched:
[adam@hal tmp]$ps aux | grep cmus
adam 7512 0.1 0.1 416824 14144 pts/2 Sl+ 15:31 0:00 cmusWhen the process is active, checking cmus status also blocks the console:
[adam@hal tmp]$cmus-remote -Q
^C
[adam@hal tmp]$Whe the process is inactive, the status output is shown as expected:
[adam@hal tmp]$cmus-remote -Q
cmus-remote: cmus is not runningI also tried installing cmus-git from AUR - with the same results.
launching 'sudo cmus' also does not help.
Do you have any hints how to proceed?

Doesn't work for me either: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46447

I do use pulseaudio and for me it works.
However I got the following when starting cmus after not having used it for some time:
cmus: Error: no such option dsp.jack.resampling_quality
cmus: Error: no such option dsp.jack.server_name
cmus: Press <enter> to continue.Pressing enter brings up the ncurses interface as expected and everything seems to work.
Starting cmus at any later time does not reveal this issue.
Probably cmus has recognized the invalid option and removed it in some configuration file.
Might this be related?

Thank you both karol and respiranto for your information.
The direction suggested by respiranto was right.
I checked on different machine, with already insalled Arch - after full system upgrade, with the same version of cmus, the problem was not observed.
I copied all contents of ~/.cmus and took it to the problematic machine, which resulted in cmus launching correctly.
After trial and error, I was able to narrow the required settings to a single line in ~/.cmus/autosave file:
$cat ~/.cmus/autosave
set output_plugin=alsaWith this file, I was able to start cmus (ncurses interface shown) but it was not fully functional (unable to go to different views, e.g. 1, 2, 3...).
I did not have time to check other lines but copying the whole autosave file from the other machine seems enough for full workaround:

factivateI'll try to narrow it down to the minimum settings needed for full functionality.
Please let me know if this helps also on your machines
I hope this will help to solve the original problem, since this is just a workaround.

Have you tried simply removing the file and thereby forcing cmus to recreate it?
Offline
@respiranto:
Yes, I tried removing the file.
The file is not regenerated when trying to launch cmus.
The settings in file are (re)generated only when cmus is launched successfully.
This happens when at least
set output_plugin=alsais present initially in file.
However, not all settings are regenerated (e.g. bindings are not) and as a result, cmus is not fully functional.
So far copying the file from other machine is the only workaround for me, since I still don't have time to examine the copied file line by line.
