Rhythmbox is not launching

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 5315 / 1 Year ago, fri, january 6, 2023, 8:58:36

I'm using Rhythmbox 2.99 in Ubuntu 13.10, and when I first launch the application it searches for music and works like a charm, but if I try to launch it later again nothing happens. When I run it in terminal I get this:

$ rhythmbox

(rhythmbox:8860): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: Custom constructor for class SoupServer returned NULL (which is invalid).  Unable to remove object from construction_objects list, so memory was probably just leaked.  Please use GInitable instead. 



Segmentation fault

Any ideas how to make it work again?

The output of sudo dpkg -l | grep rhythmbox:

Try these once

First try to re-configure it, if it doesn't help then follow the step 2.
```
sudo pkill rhythmbox

sudo dpkg-reconfigure rhythmbox
```
Check after Log-out/ Restart.

If first doesn't help then re-install rhythmbox after removing all configuration file:

sudo apt-get autoremove rhythmbox

sudo apt-get --purge remove rhythmbox

sudo find / | grep rhythmbox | sudo xargs rm -rf

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install rhythmbox

Check after Log-out/Restart.

Reply if you get any error at any particular command.
