** Description changed: I have found that enabling desktop effects effectively kills rhythmbox (and other music players, too; like banshee). That is, when desktop effects are enabled, rhythmbox fails to play local mp3 files or internet mp3 streams; it just keeps rebuffering. I have found that when I disable desktop effects, rhythmbox starts playing fine. I have also seen some other odd behaviors when desktop effects are enabled - like no top or bottom bars on the all secondary workspaces, and sometimes the number of workspaces changes to one (from four) for no apparent reason. I'm not sure what diagnostic information would be helpful to provide. I have installed the OEM NVIDIA video driver (the Ubuntu-provided nvidia- glx broke for me with a driver/kernel version mismatch, which is why I went with the OEM driver for my GEforce 6100, but this problem is a whole other topic entirely!). I am running feisty fawn w/ the latest updates (kernel: 2.6.20-15-27). If I can provide additional info, let me know. If you have any advice on how to repair or work-around, I'd love to hear it. I like the eye-candy, but music is more important to me. ;-) Thank you. + + 04/23/2007 - update: through more testing, I have found that the + problem described above is noticed when firefox is started *before* the + rhythmbox player. With desktop effects enabled, If I start rhythmbox + first, then firefox, it works fine. If I start firefox first, then + start rhythmbox, I have the "bufferning problem".
