Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

when activating the MTP plugin to connect to my Sansa player my Mighty Mouse begins to stutter until it completely hangs.
i could only deactivate the plugin with my keyboard, then everything works again.

does this mean that i can't use my Sansa Fuze with Ubuntu?

I disagree this is a low priority bug.

It stops you using your point and click desktop altogether if you make the mistake of launching Rhythmbox (a default install) in its default configuration. This is pretty major if you ask me.

If you're not familiar with keyboard navigation, then your choices are limited to a hard shutdown or nothing.

I'm using a Kensington trackball, so it's not just Mighty Mouse. Basically the MTU plugin is killing the USB subsystem.

It's also an easy fix. Deactivate the MTU plugin and let people install it/activate it if they want to deal with the issues arising, rather than sharing the fun with everyone.

i think this bug is really high priority. i can't use my mp3 player with Rhythmbox and like Cefn said it is not usable for people not knowing to use the keyboard.
first time i get this problem i thought the whole system hangs and have done an xserver reset...

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
