I experience this problem frequently. It usually occurs shortly after my screen fades from inactivity. I am attaching a backtrace of a recent crash.
At the point of the crash, these two lines appeared in gdb: (rhythmbox:24997): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed ** (rhythmbox:24997): CRITICAL **: deactivate_group: assertion `group->active' failed ** Attachment added: "gdb-rhythmbox.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/902710/+attachment/2727870/+files/gdb-rhythmbox.txt ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902710 Title: Rhytmbox freezes during playback To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/902710/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
