six thousand dialog boxes?? (saving song info)

[teledyn]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

this is madness: when Rhythmbox starts up, it normally just starts up and loads my media files from a (read-only) NFS mount and everything is fine -- THIS time it started up and then stacked up over 6000 dialog boxes informing me that the NFS mounted files were read only and therefore it cannot "save song information"

what sort of song information would it have to save??? It is a media PLAYER, it should play media, no?
Why should it want to play WITH my media files? ;)

Anyway, 6000 X-Close buttons is way too many to click, and this had never happened before so if this is due to some upgrade and its a new feature that cannot be turned off, I guess I'll have to hunt for a new media player. it is nonetheless a bug to open 6000 copies of ANY dialog box, especially 6000 identical dialog boxes that can only be closed one by one.

This is Ubuntu 7.10, totally up to date. Rhythmbox 0.11.2-0ubuntu4

Thank you for your bug report. The gutsy version didn't change for a while so that's weird. Does it happen every time? Could you try if that's still an issue on hardy?

[teledyn (garym-teledyn)]

It is weird; I use this program all the time and I don't recall any
ubuntu updates on it -- it never happened before this morning and I
just restarted it now and it didn't happen, so I'm /hoping/ the
program state information that was attached to my report can help
figure it out.

unfortunately upgrading to hardy is not an option right now, and
I also don't know if perhaps it may do it again if used after a hard
reboot or something like that.

closing, that seems to have been a one time thing and there is not enough informations to make sure that was a rhythmbox issue, feel free to reopen if you get the issue again though
