Crash at start on Oneiric 64bit

Can you please run "LANG=C google-music-frame --debug" in terminal and attach the output?

Of course, but the system wide messages will still be german... I try to
translate what seems relevant to me, using translations from dict.leo.org

> I wonder why libraries from that install are used in GMF...

WebKit (HTML rendering engine used in GMF) loads all Firefox' plugins (including Flash, Java, Google Talk).

> it consistantly crashes when i start it

What's the exact UI state when GMF crashes? Is the main window shown? Does Google Music start to load?

Can you please install Midori web browser (package midori) and open Google Music web interface in it? It uses the same web browser engine (WebKit). If Midori will also crash the problem may be Flash (it's at the top of stacktrace).

I've also added a few debug messages to better cover start of WebKit, thus update the debug output when version 0.1+next-0ubuntu0~bzr50~4~oneiric1 will be available.

I installed midori, and it crashes with very similar symptomes.
I get the log in screen, enter the information, the main window loads and
either crahes instantly, or after a few seconds where i can see the full
main window but can't interact at all.

Your guess with flash seems to be correct, after i removed the flash plugin
the main window of google music loads fine, i can interact, but only
complains about missing flash. I was using the 64bit flash plugin
distributed via ppa:sevenmachines/flash.

--- half an hour of uninstalling flash and trying to reinstall later ----

After i downloaded the 64bit flash plugin directly from the Adobe site, GM
works perfectly fine in Midori and GMF as well.

So, this bug was just some weird thing with my (otherwise fine) flash
plugin.
Thank you for the support, this can be marked invalid i guess, but i'll
leave that to you...

cheers Paul

PS: But in doing all that i found a bug in the flash PPA, so at least that's
something out of it ;)

I'm glad the problem has been solved. I'm marking this bug invalid, but I have also created FAQ entry about this issue. Thanks for reporting the problem. Happy listening :-)
