Rhythmbox 2.99.1 crashes when playing any song on Ubuntu 13.10
- by John H
Yesterday rhythmbox was running smoothly but today it crashes only a few seconds after I hit the play button, regardless of track. I've tried disabling plugins, re-installing rhythmbox via synaptics, clearing the library and the rhythmdb.xml-file and just adding one album. Still, it crashes. If I run the rhythmbox from the command line i get the following before I have to force quit:
:~$ rhythmbox
Failed to create secure directory (/run/user/1000/pulse): Permission denied
Killed
:~$
However, if i run rhythmbox via the command line as superuser it does work. But i get the following errors:
sudo rhythmbox
(rhythmbox:8335): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client:

I'm running rhythmbox on a Lenovo e335 thikpad edge. I hope I've supplied enough information.
Cheers
