[Bug 244324] Re: no sound-server available, rhythmbox freezes
Sorry, I should have gotten back to this sooner. My point with this bug report was not that I had my settings set properly for the exact setup (I do, but I have to remember to start pulseaudio, currently), but that Rhythmbox dies. A program should /not/ just die; Rhythmbox should *gracefully* handle the error and not just crash. Juxtapose this behavior with, say, Amarok. Amarok deals with no sound- server much more gracefully. I'll give you that it could be an ALSA configuration issue, but if so, it's a parallel issue. This may be related as well: if I'm using Rhythmbox and switch to a tty (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1), the connection gets broken (or something) and Rhythmbox dies. Again, juxtapose this behavior with Amarok: it doesn't die, and continues to play sound normally. Suggest not closing this bug, or otherwise help me better articulate where to find the bug *in Rhythmbox*. -- no sound-server available, rhythmbox freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For the record: aplay *successfully* plays wav files when pulseaudio is running (as expected) aplay does *not* work when pulseaudio is stopped (as expected) (*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused) Again: the issue is whether Rhythmbox gracefully handles an unexpected condition, not whether my settings are correct. -- no sound-server available, rhythmbox freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for the update Kevin, I'll set the status back to New. You may want to edit the original description to more explicitly reflect the broken behavior and what you expect it to be, although it doesn't do a bad job now. ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- no sound-server available, rhythmbox freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The bug is not a rhythmbox one, similar upstream issues are described on http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/188 and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537539.

[Bug 244324] Re: no sound-server available, rhythmbox freezes
** Description changed: + Problem (added after discussion): + + Rhythmbox freezes when no sound-server is available. This is *not* + correct behavior. Though there may be another configuration issue as + well, Rhythmbox freezing is the issue. It should not freeze, and should + gracefully handle unexpected conditions. To enable healthy competition, + I'll note that Amarok handles this unexpected condition just fine. + Short version: If there is no sound server started, and I attempt to play a song, Rhythmbox freezes. Starting the sound server manually afterward does not help, and I have to force-quit Rhythmbox and reopen. System info: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 Codename: hardy $ uname -a Linux hani 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:15:37 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux Long version: PulseAudio rocks, and I prefer it when applications play nicely. I therefore don't use ESD (who needs system sounds, since that what seems to start the ESD server automatically on startup?) However I do have some applications still that want direct access to certain devices (notably Twinkle), so I need to manually start and stop PulseAudio. But I forget to hit Alt+F2 and run it sometimes when I boot the machine, and then Rhythmbox just freezes when I try to play media files. Shouldn't the behavior be Whoops! Unable to find a sound server. Do you need to give your sound-server a nudge or set your Ubuntu preferences properly? (or something user-friendly message) instead of just freezing? I also suspect it *may* be a timeout issue, but I've never waited long enough to test for that since I want to listen when I want to listen! ;-) ** Tags added: error freeze rhythmbox server sound unexpected -- no sound-server available, rhythmbox freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@ Mike, I've updated the description. Even included a healthy competition charge. :-) Does that work? @Sebastien, hmm, okay. From an end-user point of view, all I know is that Rhythmbox freezes. Good call in deducing *where* the problem is, as I mentioned this on the Rhythmbox mailing lists or discussion room (don't remember anymore) and their general reaction was it ain't our fault, but didn't help pinpoint where it might be.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

[Bug 244324] Re: no sound-server available, rhythmbox freezes
what did you select in the system menu, preferences, sounds, music and video option? They're all set to ALSA. Not PulseAudio. Setting to PulseAudio will likely solve my immediate issue but is *not* the point of the bug report. The point is that Rhythmbox should not crash if no sound server is available. It should gracefully handle the unexpected condition. As for the DebuggingProgramCrash, I get this: $ sudo apt-get install rhythmbox-dbgsym=0.11.5-0ubuntu8 ... WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! rhythmbox-dbgsym ... I'm not willing to install software that can't be authenticated, and the instructions on the provided link do not give me a key to add. I will note that I can reproduce this every time. I just turn off or kill any and all sound daemons, then start Rhythmbox and try to play something. -- no sound-server available, rhythmbox freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
