Unmarking this as a duplicate since I've figured out what the issue was and the other bug is private.
I had restored my home directory from a backup, and the permissions on ~/.cache/rhythmbox/album-art were root:root 700. Changing the ownership to my user allowed rhythmbox to start. Rhythmbox also crashes when the directory is unreadable for any other reason, though it will start fine if the directory doesn't exist. So, the real bug is that rhythmbox assumes that if the directory exists, it can open it. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of private bug 976734 ** Summary changed: - rhythmbox crashed with SIGABRT in raise() + rhythmbox crashes with SIGABRT when ~/.cache/rhythmbox/album-art is unreadable -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985082 Title: rhythmbox crashes with SIGABRT when ~/.cache/rhythmbox/album-art is unreadable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/985082/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
