If you look at the rhythmbox 0.6.8 ebuild, it imports the GNOME2 eclass. This causes it to say "installing GNOME 2 schemas, but it actually doesn't install it. This causes rhythmbox not to start w/o crashing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
schemas install fine here.. what does 'qpkg -l rhythmbox | grep schemas' give ?
it yields nothing. I JUST resynced portage and tried again. You sure you have 0.6.8 (it's currently in ~x86)? I've had this problem for a couple of the ~x86 ones. I even 'emerge -C rhythmbox' and started again to be certain. Perhaps this is my problem (or where we differ). Remove the schema and try again.

I have the same problem. The CONTENTS file in /var/db/pkg/media-sound/rhythmbox-0.6.8 does not contain a schema file. I tried to find out why so I did the following steps: I did an ebuild ... compile I viewed the Makefile in the data directory: #schemadir = $(sysconfdir)/gconf/schemas/ #schema_DATA = rhythmbox.schemas These are commented out due to the following lines in Makefile.in: @GCONF_SCHEMAS_INSTALL_TRUE@schemadir = @GCONF_SCHEMA_FILE_DIR@ @GCONF_SCHEMAS_INSTALL_TRUE@schema_DATA = rhythmbox.schemas Maybe the ebuild should manually copy the schema file to image/etc/gconf?
yep, turns out I looked at another version myself where this is not a problem. suggestion in #4 would work or uncommenting that stuff in the Makefile probably.
removing --disable-schemas (which is the same as uncommenting) would likely cause sandboxing problems. i think manually copying is the way to go for this one, and it works.
added manual installation of schema into 0.6.8 (btw, i meant --disable-schemas-install in my last comment)
why is it using the configure option --disable-schemas-install instead of export GCONF_DISABLE_MAKEFILE_SCHEMA_INSTALL="1" like most others do?
