rhythmbox crashed with SIGSEGV in main()

StacktraceTop:main (argc=139429760, argv=0x0) at main.c:325

Thanks for your report, Is this still an issue? Is the crash reproducible with a new user? thanks.

It is still an issue, is not reproducible with a new user, but is still reproducible if I move my ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox out of the way.

Do you have some easy steps to trigger the crash? Rhythmbox works fine in my hardy box.

I can confirm, what William wrote. I tried to move ./.gnome2/accels/rhythmbox, ./.gnome2/rhythmbox and ./.gconf/apps/rhythmbox, the Music folder and downloaded Podcasts out of the way, but nothing helped.

When the segfault first occurred, I realized that I have several seconds to access the GUI before the crash. So I had the chance to disable all plugins before it crashed. But it doesn't help. Now all plugins are disabled and I the crash occure at the moment the GUI drops in front.

Attached the debug output. Everything I mentioned above is moved out of the way.

I had this bug and then I removed all of the pulse audio packages. It works now.

Nevermind. It worked for one run. But now I can see the GUI (for a second) and then it crashes.

I fixed it by clearing my home directory. And then I broke it again by disabling all plugins except for DAAP sharing. Can someone else confirm that turning off some plugins breaks this? (and possibly narrow it down to one)

Steps to reproduce. Use a clean user profile.
Open Rhythmbox.
Edit -> Plugins.
Uncheck Cover Art.
Click close.
Exit Rhythmbox.
Attempt to start rhythmbox (it should crash here).

Confirmed. Enabling the artdisplay plugin (gconf key: /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/artdisplay/active) stopped the crashing. Disabling it again caused it to crash when it was restarted again.

upstream bug was marked as a duplicate, moving the remote bug.

Thanks, that's fixed upstream.

Is this already fixed? Cause I'm having the same problem now.

@leon:

to enable artdisplay, open

~/.gconf/apps/rhythmbox/plugins/artdisplay/%25gconf.xml
in your favourite texteditor an change "false" to "true"

at least it works for me....
nice workaround until the next fix is out, thx alex ^^

@Leon:

Just upgraded to Hardy, and had album art plugin disabled. Turned the plugin on in gconf and Rhythmbox boots up fine now.

Still hasn't been fixed yet, seems.

I don't know why my bug report would be move here
The bug i report is related to Magnatune Store plugin, it is reproducible in 8.04 alpa 6 LiveCD
disabling it will result in a crash

As i said it's fixed upstream but It's not fixed on the Hardy package yet. thanks again.

Thanks me too. :)
I very low english speek :)
Sorry for my syntax.

I now use Mar 14th daily LiveCD and rhythmbox still have the problem

are you sure than you have the same issue than the one described there? what rhythmbox version is on the cd? how do you trigger the crash?

The fix came out really late last night (I was about to post back that there
wasn't a fix) and I don't think it would have made that liveCD.

Hi Eric,

This is another issue that is not related to the bug
you posted to. Please open another bug for your problem.

Thanks,

James

Hey, I don't know how to provide technical information relevant to the problems rhythmbox is having. My computer is just over a month old. It came preinstalled with Gutsy but I immediately upgraded to Hardy. Even in the first few days or so, I was having significant issues with rhythmbox. It frequently crashes/exits when I try to start it up but almost always opens for good after 4 - 6 attempts to open it. It doesn't affect me that much anymore since I put a quick launch icon for it on my panel---I just keep clicking on the launch icon until the window stays up for good. That really shouldn't be happening, though, should it? Rhythmbox also has a tendency to infrequently crash/exit during normal playback, although this does not happen often enough that I can't use it. Is there a relatively easy way for me to find and return the technical information that someone would need to understand what's going on?
