Rhythmbox crash at starting after upgrading GNOME 3.2

Hi everyone!

After I've upgrade system (including GNOME -> 3.2) rhythmbox won't start. When I'm running rhythmbox with --debug parameter its produce:

(...)
(20:02:57) [0x1917380] [construct_plugins] rb-shell.c:1593: plugin search path: /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins / /usr/share/rhythmbox/plugins
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
  import gobject._gobject
TypeError: metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases
**
ERROR:pygobject.c:929:pygobject_new_full: assertion failed: (tp != NULL)

I've try to reinstall rhythmbox and python2-gobject packages with no result.

I have the same problem, too.

Hey there!

Backup the /usr/share/rhythmbox/plugins/ folder and then remove the folder.

Uninstall and reinstall rhythmbox, worked here!

Sadly, it doesn't help at all. I have the same output.

Same with rhythmbox and rhythmbox-git (AUR).

Uninstalling rhythmbox will remove /usr/share/rhythmbox/plugins/ too. This doesn't helped here.

It works if you start with "rhythmbox --disable-plugins" so it's one of the plugins that keeps crashing the player.

Re: Rhythmbox crash at starting after upgrading GNOME 3.2

The magnatune plugin might be the source of this issue...
Temporary fix would be to remove the /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/magnatune folder

The same crash also happens on Fedora 16 and Ubuntu 11.10. There is a bug report about it on the Gnome bug tracker here:

Re: Rhythmbox crash at starting after upgrading GNOME 3.2

rhythombox crashed after I enabled magnatune plugin.

So, using  dconf-editor remove 'magnatune' from active plugins:

org->gnome->rhythmbox->plugins
