Rhythmbox used to work for me on my workstation but now does not. I cannot remember when the change happened but I assume it was the Breezy Badger -> Dapper Drake change.
Whenever I run rhythmbox, it starts, the frame comes up, I can play music but the loading continues, it seems forever -- actually it seems to finish and then restart as though in an infinite loop of some sort. Well until the segfault. I ran it under gdb and got: gdb>bt #0 0xb7c02803 in gst_push_src_get_type () from /usr/lib/libgstbase-0.10.so.0 #1 0xb7bb482f in gst_type_find_peek () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #2 0xb521e32a in mpeg_ts_probe_headers () from /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsttypefindfunctions.so #3 0xb7bb4c63 in gst_type_find_factory_call_function () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #4 0xb7c02c6b in gst_type_find_helper_get_range () from /usr/lib/libgstbase-0.10.so.0 #5 0xb521471b in gst_id3demux_get_type () from /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstid3demux.so #6 0xb7b9bad3 in gst_pad_set_active () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #7 0xb7b8a343 in gst_element_lost_state () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #8 0xb7b94db4 in gst_iterator_fold () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #9 0xb7b8a3e4 in gst_element_lost_state () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #10 0xb7b8a57b in gst_element_lost_state () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #11 0xb7b8a8ba in gst_element_lost_state () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #12 0xb5214cf0 in gst_id3demux_get_type () from /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstid3demux.so #13 0xb7b899a8 in gst_element_continue_state () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #14 0xb7b89fcd in gst_element_lost_state () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #15 0xb7b88ccc in gst_element_set_state () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #16 0xb524dfd9 in ??
