Hi,

I installed the latest Rhythbox package from unstable this morning
(0.9.3). Since I did the volume slider in Rhythmbox is missing. Also, when
double-clicking on a song in the music library the "play" button is
highlighted but never advances. Neither does the music timer. I get no
sound and Rhythmbox does not show up in the running processes in top.
There are no errors in any logs.
Please try installing "gstreamer0.10-alsa", does it help playing sound?
If it doesn't, please run rhythmbox from a terminal and report the
first error messages you get. If you don't get any, launch "rhythmbox
-d" from a terminal and report the last messages.
I get sound after installing the gstreamer0.10-alsa package, but still
ran Rhythmbox from the terminal. It gave the following error.
(rhythmbox:18011): Rhythmbox-CRITICAL **: couldn't connect to session
bus: Unable to determine the address of the message bus
Rhythmbox is still missing its volume slider.
And, no I never save sessions. I did try saving the session and then
logging in under a new session and it didn't make any difference. The
desktop volume slider is still missing. I think something got corrupted
when I installed the updated version of Rythmbox and the gstreamer
packages that apt-get said were required at the same time.
I can get by without the slider on the desktop. I put an icon for the
volume control that resides in the Gnome menu under "Sound and Video"
for now. I usually figure this stuff out after a while but I didn't
realize that there was a gstreamer alsa package. Guess I should have
searched the repositories using apt-cache, but didn't think of it at the
time... Will know better next time.
Thanks a lot for your help. I appreciate it. If you want to fix this
and have more debugging procedures for me to run let me know. I am
pretty passionate about Debian and would like to help as much as
possible. I'm no developer but if there is anything I can do to help
let me know.
During the Rhythmbox upgrade the volume applet in gnome crashed and
had to be restarted. The volume slider no longer appears at the top
of the desktop even after a reboot.
Do you use the "session" feature? Could you try "saving your session"
when Rhythmbox is *not* running, and try rebooting again? If it
doesn't help, then it's a different problem.
Cheers,
