.Crash! - Rhythmbox crashes.

What he expected to happen:

.Start Rhythmbox
.Plug in iPod
.right click on the iPod
.choose synchronize
.a pop up window showing the playlists pops-up
.chooses a number of playlists to synchronize
.Rhythmbox transfers the playlists and tracks to the iPod
.Unplug the iPod
.Listen to music on the iPod

[Damiön la Bagh (kat-amsterdam)]

In Natty 11.04 before the upgrade syncing with the iPod worked perfectly in Rhythmbox

I have reinstalled rhythmbox:amd64 for Robbert
and reinstalled gstreamer:amd64

both steps did not remedy the problem.

This bug has been fixed upstream: (this bug has nothing to do with 32bit libraries)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658363

I was able to reproduce today using an iPhone. I've opened Rhythmbox: right-click on the iPhone and choose 'Properties'

--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

Reproduced using mp3 player Sansa Clip 2GB:
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

Here is the patch from upstream that fixes the aforementioned bug.

[Chris J Arges (arges)]

I built a test package with this patch applied to rhythmbox on oneiric and I can now get properties on my attached music player without a segfault.

[Chris J Arges (arges)]

This bug is not present in precise.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hi Arges,

Thanks for bringing in the upstream patch for inclusion in Ubuntu. I see you also attached a branch with your work at packaging the patch, and verified the issue is fixed in precise - so the work here appears to be getting the fix into Oneiric. I'll provide a review of your branch on the branch merge proposal, and tips here on this bug for how to file an SRU for releasing it to Oneiric.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

In order to get a fix deployed for a stable release like oneiric, there are a few things that need to be done here on this bug report.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/ for the full details.

1. Update the bug report with the following sections:

* An [Impact] section explaining the severity and frequency of the bug on users and justification for backporting the fix to the stable release

* A [Development Fix] section with an explanation of how the bug has been addressed in the development branch, including the relevant version numbers of packages modified in order to implement the fix.

* A [Stable Fix] section pointing out a minimal patch applicable to the stable version of the package. If preparing a patch is likely to be time-consuming, it may be preferable to get a general approval from the SRU team first.

* A [Test Case] section with detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug. These should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes the problem.

* A [Regression Potential] section with a discussion of likelihood and potential severity of regressions and how users could get inadvertently affected.

2. Get the branch reviewed and uploaded to oneiric-proposed

3. Subscribe the ubuntu-sru team

4. Once the upload has been approved by archive admins, test the actual binaries and follow up in the bug report with test verification.

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton)]
