Pithos sometimes stalls at 'Logging in'

[Gary B]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. Please reference http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11599104

Since the most recent update (not sure if it was to 0.3.13 or 0.3.14), sometimes Pithos seems to stall at the "Logging in" phase, with nothing in the list of songs. When it does so, restarting it does not fix the problem. This has happened several times (more often than not from a new login) in the last couple of weeks.

But today I ran some tests. I was having the problem, so I tried starting Pithos from the command line as 'pithos --gst-debug-level=2', and it started up fine. Then I tried starting it as just 'pithos' and that was fine as well. So then I tried from the Gnome menu again, and it started up fine, multiple times.

For reference, I'm running Ubuntu Lucid (10.04), kernel 2.6.32-37-generic, Gnome 2.30.2, and I'm running Compiz 0.8.4 and Cairo-dock.

I get: "Error: You have no chance to survive make your time. " even when running as command line. Ubuntu 11.10

I had the exact same experiance as the OP. A command line launch attempt returned the following Error/Warnings:
