Another interesting note. I erased my rhythmbox configuration directory and copied my old one form my Karmic partition and it started right up! :)
rm -rf ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/ cp -a /media/karmic_OLD/.local/share/rhythmbox/ ~/.local/share/ So this my be a viable workaround for others having this problem. -- rhythmbox crashes in three seconds after startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
