Public bug reported: Binary package hint: rhythmbox
There is already a summary at bug #218990 The crux of what I'm reporting is not simply that rhythmbox crashed, that should be expected when rhythmbox attempts to run an opengl visualization that doesn't properly report to gstreamer that it uses opengl. (shouldn't have to really) What I am reporting is that once I selected a 'bad' plugin, there is no way to deselect it. Visualization plugins are only accessible when music is playing and plugins are turned on, but this bug crashes rhythmbox when music is playing and plugins are on. The workaround is to open gconf-editor and remove the plugin, but this is not documented anywhere that is easy to find for someone new to gnome/debian/ubuntu and for someone fresh from windows this is a show stopper. "I enabled a plugin and now I can't run any plugins when I play music..." Please also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/218990 I understand it got closed according to standard procedure - but I don't feel the original bug report has yet been fully read and understood by a human. As I said, the bug is the lack of gui recovery options.
