Hi -

Here's a question I'm sure will be fairly simple for all you command line
geeks out there: when I started this 12.10 set-up, I loaded the Rhythmbox
Library from an external hard disk, where I keep the backups of all my
music. Subsequently I copied all the music into the /home/music folder of
the computer itself. Now Rhythmbox will load from these, but only after a
delay, and in Preferences, the Library source setting is stuck at
"multiple
locations set". I am sure that from the command line I can force it to
adopt
/home/music as the Library source, but I can't find up-to-date
instructions
on how to do this anywhere online. What I have found online is
instructions
for using gconf editor, which don't seem to be recognised on 12.10. So
please tell me how to do it. Thanks.
Comment #6 at [1] alleges to be the solution for 12.10 (Quantal).

Nice one, I shall try to do that. This is the second time running that you
have pointed me at Launchpad. In future, I promise I shall go there and use
their internal search machine to look for answers, before posing questions
on Ubuntu-uk.
Actually I just googled for
rhythmbox remove library locations
and found it reasonably easily.  Comment #8 of the first hit [1] took me to it.

Ah, well that's even better. I solved my problem by doing apt-get purge rhythmbox then apt-get install rhythmbox, and now it registers the desired Library location (/home/music) correctly. You phrased your search terms much more intelligently than I did.
