I chatted with the app owner of Rhythmbox about this. I was right about my above patch fixing this bug but re-introducing a different bug. So ignore that for fixing this. He says a permanent fix was applied. So looks like Ubuntu's build grabbed the wrong copy of Rhythmbox's source code. Looks to m

Looks like code that sets an encoding property when synching was removed for the 2.98 version. Restoring it seems to fix the problem for me. I attached a patch file for this. Just load this up and rebuild. ** Patch added: "rb-transfer-target.c.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/r

I want to note that the patch I loaded here probably re-introduces some other bug, that this code was removed for a reason, so don't consider this a suggestion for an official fix. But if it works around the problem for you then feel free to use it until an official fix is found. -- You received

2013-05-01 Thread David M
Update form my last comment: looks like the timing with the Ubuntu upgrade is coincidental. I downgraded Rhythmbox to a version that used to work and still have the same problem. The cause seems to be if I include my podcasts in the synch. If I uncheck that then it synchs fine, no crash. Just so ha

Not that it needs more confirming, but yeah, the killing of gvfsd-http worked for me, too. If it's a bug in Rhythmbox itself then I'd be happy to attempt a fix it if a maintainer or other expert in the source code can give me pointers to get started. I was recently hacking the Rhythmbox source, so

2013-01-14 Thread David M
I don't know how it is created, but I think it is more about timing. Perhaps SSH tries to get a file handle to ~/.pam_environment and run it itself at a point in time after the encrypted home has been mounted, whereas perhaps the normal LightDM session login does so too early. -- You received thi

I confirmed that the above work-around (adding session required pam_env.so to /etc/pam.d/common-session) works great. Perhaps that's all Ubuntu needs to do to fix this bug? Not sure if there are any negative side effects, but so far I'm not experiencing any. -- You received this bug notification
