<div>Well, like I said, I've got three
machines, all set up identically with vanilla 13.04 64-bit ISO
from the same USB stick, and AFAICS it only happens on one of
them, which unfortunately is my favourite, an old Lenovo N500 with
a really comfortable touchpad. Rhythmbox cannot play two albums in
succession, even immediate succession, without being closed and
reopened.<br>
<br>
I didn't acknowledge Phill's statement that he would let me know
of guidance for installing Rhythmbox 2.99 from the FTP package.
But I look forward to that. Thanks, Phill.<br>
<br>
By the way, do you remember I mentioned the absence of the unread
mail indicator on the Thunderbird launcher? I reported it as a bug
on Launchpad.net and was immediately informed it had already been
reported, twice, and will be fixed. <br><div><div>

at it, the thing in the repository is also 2.98. But if I was to
download 2.99 from the FTP page you indicated, wouldn't I have
to do all the configuration manually? That would be totally
beyond me. By the way, we shouldn't be top posting like this. It
forces people to read the conversation from bottom to top as
well as from top to bottom.<br>

symptom of a general haywireness that sets in if it has been
left running but idle for more than a few minutes. By the way,
AFAIK, I only have this on one of my three machines, but they
are all identically set up, with completely fresh installs of
13.04 and then all files, including the 1850+ albums, reloaded
from an external hard drive. This takes an hour or two for each
fresh install, but it gives me maximum free space, so I do it
happily, rather than install the new versions keeping the old
files and settings.<br>
