Bug Description

Binary package hint: quodlibet

Quodlibet fails to open if a usb media device is connected to the computer. If the usb media device is disconnected quodlibet opens up fine. This was tested on Ubuntu 8.10 with version 1.0.ds1-2ubuntu1 of quodlibet installed. The steps to reproduce is as follows:

1. connect an usb media device (like an ipod) to your computer.
2. open up quodlibet
3. quodlibet fails to open

The expected outcome would be for quodlibet to open up and work as it does without an usb media device connected. If it supports the usb media device, it should show the newly detected device. I've attached the error quodlibet gives when ran from the terminal.

---
TEST CASE:
1. connect a player with the HAL capability "portable_audio_player"
2. try to start Quodlibet

LATEST PACKAGE TESTED:
quodlibet 1.0.ds1-2ubuntu1

WORKAROUND:
Have the player disconnected while running quodlibet.

NEXT STEP:
Get the package into intrepid-proposed and tested.

Thanks. I've updated the title and description to reflect that it is a more general problem and not just limited to ipods.

Thanks for your report. It's because the portable_audio_player.type is deprecated and quodlibet is trying to access it.

Attached you can find a patch for the source package. It is extracted from quodlibet-2.0.

Applied the patch manually, since I have QL already installed with the fix for the file system browser applied. (And 'cos I have no clue how to automatically apply patches. :P)

It works like a charm! Thanks! :D

Subscribed UUS as the fix should be uploaded to jaunty first and jaunty was not open yet when I supplied the patch.
