Public bug reported: When running Rhythmbox, no sound is produced when a music file is "played".
I get a thump sound from the OS and a pop-up message saying " Couldn't start playback - Failed to link GStreamer pipeline; check your installation" I have tried purging and re-installing but the same problem continues. When I start Rhythmbox from the terminal, I get this message: (rhythmbox:21017): Gtk-WARNING **: Duplicate child name in GtkStack: Add to Playlist (rhythmbox:21017): Gtk-WARNING **: Duplicate child name in GtkStack: Add to Playlist (rhythmbox:21017): Gtk-WARNING **: Duplicate child name in GtkStack: Add to Playlist (rhythmbox:21017): Gtk-WARNING **: Duplicate child name in GtkStack: Add to Playlist (rhythmbox:21017): Gtk-WARNING **: Duplicate child name in GtkStack: Add to Playlist (rhythmbox:21017): Gtk-WARNING **: Duplicate child name in GtkStack: Add to Playlist (rhythmbox:21017): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to grab media player keys: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files (rhythmbox:21017): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: minus one I had this problem once before and I believe an update fixed it. I am running Ubuntu Mate 16.04ppc on a Powerbook G4. This is the current latest version of Rhythmbox on this platform. Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
