It seems rhythmbox hates my system. But it is inventive in finding new says to fail. Running rhythmbox I get
Quote:

Running with strace -fF rhythmbox, I get what follows just prior to the message above.

(rhythmbox:1609): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to grab media player keys: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name

I'm recently upgraded to dbus 1.4.0, but the previous version 1.2.24-r2 fails as well.
I suspect it has to do with use flags, but which ones?? An emerge of rhythmbox says

. Running equery uses gst-plugins-meta, gives

Turning off the 'python' use flag made rhythmbox work again for me. I don't know what functionality I've lost because of this but my podcasts work so I don't care.

Before I would get the following when running rhythmbox:

Code:

** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkWindow)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkInvisible)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkObject)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
Segmentation fault


I also ran strace but I couldn't see anything relevant (but the output was long).

That (using -python for rhythmbpx) fixed things for me. Thanks.

I've got the same problem with sonata (gtk front-end for mpd). I'd like to solve this like you but sonata hasn't got "python" use flag. Does anybody got ideas?
