rhythmbox crashes on changing volume

[Alex L.]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Ubuntu 9.10.
rhythmbox 0.12.5-0ubuntu4 0

I tried to change volume using rhythmbox slider (on top right corner) or just using mouse wheel over this button.
But rhythmbox crashed.

I can reproduce it always if constantly change volume during 2-5 secons. Sometimes it crashes immediately.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

[Michalxo (michalxo)]

Same bug here. I am able to "get it" when filtering sound and then changing somehow volume. Maybe song filtering is not needed at all.

[gray (info-graydesigns)]

This issue happens for me when I use the rhythmbox toolbar volume control.

If I change the system volume control, or use the sound preferences dialog by right-clicking on the panel icon to alter the rhythmbox volume, then all is fine, but if I try to change the volume from the toolbar in Rhythmbox then Rhythmbox crashes.

For now I have just hidden the rhythmbox toolbar.

I am running 9.10 installed clean, not upgraded, with all updates as of today.

[krabas (krabas)]

There is workaround as explained in bug #479213. But then you face issue #479213, which is better for the moment i think.

[gray (info-graydesigns)]

Thanks for the suggestion, however hanging the volume via the panel icon is easy enough for now - I merely submitted the bug report in the hopes of a fix at some point and thereby improving Ubuntu.

Cheers

um...that should have read "changing the volume via the panel..."

coffee....
