I confirm this as well, same thing here, all started after upgrading to Quantal also with large collection (~200GB).
Got my collection mounted from my NAS through fstab, first I thought this was the issue because noticed the 'sambafs' got deprecated and replaced by 'cifs' in 12.10. So tried nfs/cifs and some other mount options, but that doesn't seem to be the problem, mounts are readable and writable. When rhytmbox is started with: rhythmbox --debug It will freeze for a short while to be fully functional after. Until I close it again and try to start it normally, it will freeze up again and won't comeback. Tryed to let it run for a 1hr+ but doesn't come back anymore. Noticed that even sometimes with the --debug parameter it seems to random freeze up while doing the following: [0x1217f20] [rhythmdb_add_uri_with_types] rhythmdb.c:2996: queueing stat for "file:///media/Music/xxx" (Btw there is a typo there queueing -> queuing) Clearing out ~/.local/share/rhythmbox, will make rhythmbox box start and work properly until it has been closed again and you restart it, it will freeze up again. Even though clearing out my ~/.local/share/rhythmbox is not really an option, because I don't want to loose my ratings in rhythmdb.xml! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1010619 Title: [2.97-0ubuntu2] Rhythmbox freezes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/1010619/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
