Comment 15 for bug 623655

Well, I forgot about all the issues with Rythmbox 0.12.8. After just a few hours this morning, I decided that I could live without the music store for a while. I installed the other two ppa's cited by Luminary (Thanks!) and updated to the latest releases of aptdaemon, ubuntu one builds, and rhythmbox and their associated support libs from their ppa's. I no longer have the music store, but everything else associated with rhythmbox works perfectly again. Here's my terminal output:

:~$ rhythmbox

(rhythmbox:16881): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(rhythmbox:16881): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Then try to activate the ubuntuone music store plugin:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/umusicstore/__init__.py", line 20, in <module>
    from MusicStoreWidget import U1MusicStoreWidget
  File "/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/umusicstore/MusicStoreWidget.py", line 24, in <module>
    from aptdaemon.defer import inline_callbacks
ImportError: cannot import name inline_callbacks

(rhythmbox:16881): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not load plugin umusicstore

(rhythmbox:16881): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Error, impossible to activate plugin 'Ubuntu One Music Store'

Pretty much the same as before.

There ought to be another way to access the music store besides the buggy plugin to rhythmbox, and I don't mean a plugin for banshee. I mean a website or dedicated app. As it is, I'll just wait until somebody fixes the plugin interface for rhythmbox. When Cannonical feels the pinch from folks no longer buying from the store, maybe this will be fixed.
