Bug Description

I am using Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS. I purged Unity because it is really slow on my PC. I installed GNOME & KDE (kubuntu-desktop). Before I logged out from KDE because it was somehow slow, Rhythmbox played the music files just fine. However, when I logged in to GNOME Flashback (Metacity), I started Rhythmbox, and when I pressed the "Play" button on my keyboard, Rhythmbox crashed instead of playing the music file normally. Can anyone help me.

(Note: This only happens with Ubuntu 14.04 on my PC. Back when I was using Ubuntu 10.10 & 12.04, Rhythmbox worked OK.)
