Ok SORRY, this bug is not fixed, my mistake. I analyzed the situation now, here it comes:

When rhythmbox is started without any music in the "Music" folder in ubuntu, it will crash, it will always crash.
After I added an album in the Music folder rhytmbox will find it and crash and the "Stores" menu is missing on the left side. If I start rhythmbox one more time "Stores" will come up and everything will work.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

The log has an error indeed but lacks gtk debug symbols, could you get a new one with libgtk2.0-0-dbg installed? you can use the wiki valgrind line without the --leak-check option listed to have a short log and gzip that one too if needed that should let you upload the log to launchpad too

Ok I'll do this, it will be up today in a few minutes. (I like to add that if I launch the program with valgrind then it doesn't crash but if I launch the program form the menu or from the commandline (using rhythmbox or /usr/bin/rhythmbox) then it crashes on start up)

right, valgrind often workaround the crashing but lists errors anyway in the log

the new logs have errors in libusb and in the mtp devices detection code but lacks symbols for those, I will have a look locally if the issue is happening there too later

Are you still getting the crash ? Please do test and comment back, per your last comment seems to be that this is no longer an issue but we'd like to have a confirmation about that. thanks.

I will install beta 2 right now and tell you more afterwards. Right now rhythmbox is working but this is (in my opinion) only the case because I installed all possible debug files, so these debug files seem to skip the bug.

I think it's impolite to mark this bug as incomplete after all my effort with the valgrind logs. This is the most complete report ever.

I installed beta 2 now on the same MacBook Pro (I use a MacBook Pro by the way) and rhythmbox still crashes on startup. It is the same bug like before. This bug still exists and is not fixed.

Christopher "cv" (vchristopher) wrote :

I can also now definitely say that rhythmbox starts with no problems if the mtpdevice option is disabled using gconf-editor.
This is definitaly a mtpdevice bug.
100% sure.

If this option is enabled, rhythmbox crashes.

If this option is disabled, rhythmbox works.

Sorry about that, there is some hundred bugs opened on rhythmbox and some thousand and desktop bugs and just some triagers which they do what they can with this quantity of informations. Yesterday the busquad had a rhythmbox triaging day and Pedro checked on quite some bugs for an update. Ideally we could spend one hour on every bug report to work on the issue and read every detail but it would require a lot extra capacity in the team compared to what we have so triaging is sometime done a bit quickly and errors are happening, reopening your now

the issue is not due to the macbook configure no, but to hundred of thousand bugs which are open on launchpad right now and only a bunch of people are working on those, this one is non trivial and not the most urgent issue for lucid, it might take a while before it's worked, sorry that the software doesn't work great for you bug there is just lot to do and not so many people to do it

There is this link posted for what looks like the same issue:

http://speeves.erikin.com/2010/05/ubuntu-lucid-macbook-rhythmbox.html

This person also gets the problem on a Macbook pro, and, surprise, I have a Macbook pro and am experiencing the same issue.

Setting /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/mtpdevice/active = false in gconf-editor fixed the problem for me as well.

Thanks for your note, Alex. I went looking through my comments, and it appears that we are missing:
sudo apt-get install libgnomevfs2-extra

Which fixed my problem. It adds the smb module for Gnome VFS:
* the smb module, to browse Windows shares.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libgnomevfs2-extra

So it makes sense that turning off mtpdevice support, (which is a Microsoft protocol (http://www.directionsonmicrosoft.com/sample/DOMIS/update/2004/10oct/1004mpumsf_sb.htm)), in gconf-editor would stop the segfault issue. The fix for this problem is to add libgnomevfs2-extra as a dependency to rhythmbox-plugins.

gnomevfs is not used by rhythmbox for over a year now, the comment indicated in the previous comment is of no use in lucid

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
