It seems your system isn't running the "messagebus", or the "haldaemon" service: (21:33:40) [0x9f93890] [rb_removable_media_manager_mount_volume] rb-removable-media-manager.c:647: Unhandled media ** (rhythmbox:11526): WARNING **: Could not initalize the HAL context: (null) ** (rhythmbox:11526): WARNING **: hal_initialize failed: (null) ** (rhythmbox:11526): WARNING **: hal_initialize failed: (null) Could you please check whether the same thing occurs with Rhythmbox 0.9.6 that was uploaded to the FC6 updates recently? (Multimedia stuff moves quickly, and it would be better using the latest distribution to use Rhythmbox properly).
You're right: this was due to haldaemon not running (I had disabled that due to another bug, which does not seem to happen anymore in FC6). Closing as NOTABUG.
