Hi guys,
I'm having some problems with Rhythmbox. It crashes immediately after launch.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling by
sudo apt-get remove rhythmbox
sudo apt-get install rhythmbox
this did not have any impact on my problem.

See what errors you get when you start it from the terminal with the command rhythmbox. That may help us to sort out the problem.
Try removing your Rhythmbox settings directory....
Code:rm -rf ~/.local/share/rhythmbox
Also, you could start it in debug mode, i.e. in a terminal give the following command
Code:rhythmbox -d
started in terminal
rhythmbox -d
got a lot of gibberish, which I think is launch/start up files, ending with:

well I'll be a monkey's uncle...
I entered
rm -rf ~/.local/share/rhythmbox
rhythmbox
and it launched successfully!
Thanks guys, I'll put this as solved!
One more thing guys, not even sure you'll read this after I marked it as solved;
~/.local/share/rhythmbox
what is the full path to this?
I was looking for it manually, but I can't find it.
~ is an abreviation for /home/user. It can be used in any context, at least as far as I know.
