Reproducible with iPod Shuffle 2nd generation + Ubuntu 12.04. Sync library crashes Rhythmbox, new playlist doesn't (the latter may be a separate bug, see comment #6). I also can't copy any music files onto the device, which may as well be a separate bug.
About twice the crash also produced a crash report dialog ("rhythmbox crashed with SIGSEGV in <foo>") but I couldn't yet reproduce that. Also when I clicked the continue button in the crash report dialog, it disappeared and nothing happened - no launchpad session appearing in a browser window and no bug reports found with the above title. Guess the bug reporting framework couldn't really handle the case. If I come across it again, I make sure that I save the relevant information to post it here. Also tried to run rhythmbox in debug mode, last output lines on crashing were: (rhythmbox:3489): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion `instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed Segmentation fault (core dumped) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/940556 Title: rhythmbox crashed trying to sync To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/940556/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
