Pedro, Thank you much! I hope the attached file proves useful.
First, I swapped out the rhythmbox-dbg package for the rhythmbox-dbgsym package . . . That may have changed the environment significantly. For one thing, the program now produces apport reports and automatically uploads them. So, perhaps this is now an invalid stream after all. BTW, the first time I followed the backtrace instructions, <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace>, I got to step 3 under the "Generation" header and pressed Ctrl-C as instructed and gdb exited abruptly. Since that didn't seem right, I started again and ignored step 3. The attached file is from the second attempt. Also, since apport is now sending (already sent two lengthy reports) notifications when rhythmbox crashes occur, that may be the better way to track the issue . . . Not really sure. Thanks to both Pedro and Chris for helping me to collect info that will hopefully improve Ubuntu!!! ** Attachment added: "gdb capture of thythmbox -- created using Pedro's useful instruction reference" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20840532/gdb-rhythmbox.txt -- rhythmbox 0.11.6 crashes frequently in Xubuntu 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307365 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
