Can you run the program on the console (go to a terminal and type `rhythmbox'), get it to crash, and post the console output from the session? If the console output doesn't give any meaningful output, you'll have to install the debug symbols, start it up under gdb, and grab a backtrace when it throws SIGSEGV. But one thing at a time -- the console might have enough info. Thanks, Sean P.S. -- Since this is an issue with a distro package, it probably makes sense to file a bug in the Ubuntu Launchpad bug tracker: http://launchpad.net. I know that Ubuntu ships some non-standard plugins, so it's possible that people on this list might refuse to support your configuration. "Vanilla" builds of Rhythmbox and the official plugins are probably all that upstream purists will want to support, and you are mailing upstream. P.P.S. -- Does this happen with one specific midi file, or with any midi file? Providing the midi file itself, would be helpful to developers trying to track down the issue. If you can reproduce the issue on a specific midi file but not others, it might be a defect with the midi decoder: even if your midi file is somehow "bad", it shouldn't cause the midi synthesizer to crash. I am not sure how fair use works in your country (or whether it exists at all), but if the midi file is copyrighted, I think it might still be fair use (in the U.S.) for one or two developers to use the midi file strictly for the purpose of debugging software, and then discard it. But IANAL. P.P.P.S -- troubleshooting issues like this is best done in real time on IRC, where we can ask you to try things, have you perform diagnostics or tests, then get the output back from you in a short time. Like that, we can have the issue resolved in a much shorter time. Join us on irc.gnome.org #rhythmbox, or seek Ubuntu support on chat.freenode.org #ubuntu. I am also a member of the Ubuntu community, so I personally don't care which support you channel you select. I'm pretty sure I could help you isolate this issue quickly if I could reproduce it locally. I do run Ubuntu 10.04 myself. > > > > _______________________________________________ > rhythmbox-devel mailing list > rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel > _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
