rhythmbox keeps closing

baronobeefdip · 05-11-2011, 08:48 AM

i am running Debian Squeeze under the new kernel in the Debian updates. and i have a Walkman media player and whenever i start the program with it plugged in it will run for a few seconds and close. but when the device isn't plugged in it will run forever (the right way until i close it)

while it was running i too a look at the contents of the walkman through the devices icon on the left and everything is listed as unknown. whats going on here what do i have to upgrade/downgrade or install/uninstall

Have you tried running Rhythmbox from a terminal, any meaningful errors?

i just re-installed everything and installed from a network mirror instead of the cdrom (which is where the installation originally came from after i installed debian for the first time)

And did that fix it?
