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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902710 Title: Rhytmbox freezes during playback Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Rhythmbox freezes after playing 4 or 5 trackes on shuffle, after closing and re-starting frezzes again after 4 or 5 tracks.
