Won't play music after switching CDs

thanks for the report, could you get a rhythmbox log with: rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt perform the operation to cause the bug and later on submit the file as an attachment to the report? thanks in advance.

Here's the log. I hope it helps.

I am seeing similar behavior for rhythmbox.

after listing to a CD I eject the old one and put in a new one.
am prompted should i have rythmbox play the cd ( i say yes )
the cd is not highlighted as source but when selecting it I cannot
play it.

The interesting thing is if I choose a radio station ( it works ), then i can change back to listen to the CD.

my environment is as follows

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

uname -a
Linux dock-laptop 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

apt-cache policy rhythmbox

Not sure if this is interesting or not, but I did a fresh install of 8.04 and later upgrade to 8.10.

could you describe exactly what you do? why can't you play the cd? do you get an error or is not listed?

could you also point at what time you insered the new CD and tried to play a song in the log?

Why can't I play the CD ? The problem is that it is almost as if some internal value says that the CD isn't there or isn't ready. I press the play icon and nothing happens, no error message, nothing. select another track and press play nothing.

I did manage to work around this by selecting a norwegian radio station, listening for a second or two, then switching back to the audio cd. At that point, I was able to play the CD.

I use 8.10 as a Live User on a stock HP m7747c desktop. I boot from the DVD-ROM drive and try to play an audio CD from the CDRW drive. Ubuntu recognizes the drive, the WAV files, and displays a musical JJ icon for each file. Double clicking on the file launches RhythmBox but nothing happens.

could you open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org since you get the bug and can reply to their comments easily?

did you try on current jaunty or open a GNOME bug?
