Hi,

Thanks for the bug report.

It would be useful to have a backtrace of the crash. Please
see

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace

and

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash

for how to install debug symbols that will give some more information.

Also the output of strace run on rhythmbox could be useful.

Thanks,

James

There is a very easy workaround for this bug :

Reactivate the "display cover"-plugin in Rhythmbox. This can be done with "gconf-editor" :

"/apps/rhythmbox/plugins/artdisplay/active" has to be set to "true". After this Rhythmbox works normally.

thanks the workaround runs. I attached the backtrace.

Problem re-arises? I've been using rhythem for some time now, no problems before
I purged Rhythm box and all plugins, reinstalled.

I'm on 10.04

Running 'rhythmbox -d'
