They're all set to ALSA. Not PulseAudio. Setting to PulseAudio will likely solve my immediate issue but is *not* the point of the bug report. The point is that Rhythmbox should not crash if no sound server is available. It should gracefully handle the unexpected condition. As for the DebuggingProgramCrash, I get this: $ sudo apt-get install rhythmbox-dbgsym=0.11.5-0ubuntu8 ... WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! rhythmbox-dbgsym ... I'm not willing to install software that can't be authenticated, and the instructions on the provided link do not give me a key to add. I will note that I can reproduce this every time. I just turn off or kill any and all sound daemons, then start Rhythmbox and try to play something. -- no sound-server available, rhythmbox freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
