Rygel crash on start up

[Alan Lord]

New install on Precise Server AMD 64bit.

sudo apt-get install rygel.

Look at the paths! Looks like the dev (jens) has left some testing code in the package...

[Jens Georg (yg-jensge)]

No, I didn't. That is a by-product of vala's code generator.

While the messages look scary, you can completely ignore them. If it really is crashing, please add a core dump.

Rygel does nothing here because XDG directories are apparently not configured for users on ubuntu-server. You have to add paths manually by copying /etc/rygel.conf to $HOME/.config and modifying the "uris" key in the [MediaExport] section.

[Andreas Henriksson (andreas-fatal)]

A simpler way of expressing the last paragraph of jens message could be to just use "rygel-preferences" if you prefer clicking over config hacking. =)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

there is no crash there and the warning was normal
