Rhythm box freezes after 10 seconds

Geert86 · 11-10-2010, 04:48 AM

Hi everybody,

I have got a problem with my rhythmbox. After 10 seconds it just freezes... No matter what I do. I have added 2 mp3 live stream stations and added about 200 songs in my playlist. I also installed xserver. Well. I have no idea what could be the problem... Can anybody help me, because playing music is the prime task of the computer

Regards, Geert

Hi,

I just started it form the command line. It gives these warnings:

Quote:

(rhythmbox:3286): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: couldn't connect to session bus:

Couldn't get main dbus connection: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

And when I want to start it after it has frozen:

So what could it mean?

ok, more info needed

what's your distro?
when did it freeze for the first time? after you updated rhythmbox?

try running rhythmbox with default configuration - move ~/.rhythmbox somewhere else and start it from console.

Well, it is a fresh install. I believe lenny (or etch), anyway it is the latest stable release, of that I am sure, nbecause I checked it earlier.

The problem did always occur since I have installed debian. I have not upgraded or updated rhythmbox. Just fresh form the install. Howvere I know that the sound card did work, because I got it from an older debian machine, that I have used. I also disabled the onboard sound, so those drivers aren't loaded anymore. I did this by adding the drivers to the blacklist.

Also I already moved the home dir, so it needs to make a new standard profile, but that didn't work...

However I am glad to see error messages. What does it mean?
