Record Radio Station Plugin does not work with Ubuntu Lucid

Asked by Juan I. Gaviria

Record Radio Station Plugin 1.3.2 does not work with Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 and Rhythmbox 0.13.0.
I am not able to configure it. I have installed and enabled the plugin but nothing happens when I click on the configure button. No icons or menu entries are shown. No entries for it in context menu either. I have not seen any error notification.
Plenty of memory and disk space and a quad processor. Kernel: 2.6.32-24-generic. Gnome: 2.30.2
Sound is fine and I can record streaming with VLC.
Any suggestions?

I installed and uninstalled two versions of Record Radio Station Plugin several times, to no avail. However, after some fiddling about I found the hidden file .rbrec_conf in my $HOME folder and I noticed that it was always empty. On a hunch, I then copied the contents of the file /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/record-station/default_conf to .rbrec_conf. After that, Record Radio Station Plugin 1.3.2 worked like a charm, although it seems to be a very unorthodox procedure.
Problem solved
