GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 454828
Opening gparted causes Rhythmbox to stop playing
Last modified: 2018-05-24 12:41:05 UTC
Please describe the problem: If Rhythmbox is playing a song, opening gparted (System -> Administration -> GNOME Partition Editor) causes Rhythmbox to stop playing and change to the 'Not Playing' status. This occurs during the period when gparted is showing the 'Scanning all devices...' label. Rhythmbox remains 'Not Playing' until the user presses play again. It seems that the bug only occurs when I have a USB (mass storage) MP3 player plugged-in which has music files on it. If it is not plugged in, the bug doesn't happen. rhythmbox 0.10.0-0ubuntu2 (Ubuntu Feisty) gparted 0.2.5-2ubuntu2 (Ubuntu Feisty) Steps to reproduce: 1. Plug-in a USB Mass Storage device with songs on it 2. Play song(s) in Rhythmbox 3. Open gparted Actual results: Rhythmbox will stop playing, whether or not the song being played is on the removable volume Expected results: Rhythmbox should not stop playing if the song being played is NOT on the removable drive Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Bug originally reported on the Ubuntu bugtracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/121853 Output of `rhythmbox -d 2> rb.log`: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8175835/rb.log.tar.gz
The interesting bits are: (11:16:05) [0x80f4028] [rhythmdb_volume_unmounted_cb] rhythmdb-monitor.c:423: volume file:///home unmounted (11:16:06) [0x80f4028] [rhythmdb_volume_mounted_cb] rhythmdb-monitor.c:401: volume file:///home mounted (11:16:07) [0x80f4028] [rb_removable_media_manager_mount_volume] rb-removable-media-manager.c:428: detecting new media - display name=/home So, something gparted is doing is making rhythmbox think your /home filesystem is being unmounted and remounted.
Possibly, but I don't get the bug when only /home is mounted initially - it only happens when there is another music-containing volume mounted too. If it was caused by /home mounting and unmounting, wouldn't I expect to get the same issue whether there was another device plugged in or not? Thanks
Output from 'rhythmbox -D rhythmdb-monitor' in both cases would be helpful. There don't seem to be any mount/unmount events other than those for /home in the above output.
Created attachment 91627 [details] Log files Results of running the command below and then opening gparted. phil@jaguar:~$ rhythmbox -D rhythmdb-monitor 2>rb.log rb_no_usb_disk.log - results of running command with NO USB disk plugged in rb_usb_disk_connected.log - results of running command with the USB disk plugged in I plugged in a USB disk without audio files on it this time (only videos), and the same bug occurred.
