For some reason songbird 1.2.0 won’t start on Ubuntu 9.04. I did some reading on line and found the culprit which was causing it to not start. All you have to do is to remove the package named libvisual-0.4-plugins.

In order to remove and start enjoying SongBird on ubuntu 9.04 again follow the steps:

1. Bring up the terminal by hitting ALT+f2 and typing gnome-terminal.

2. Type the following to remove libvisual-0.4-plugins

sudo apt-get remove libvisual-0.4-plugins

3. That’s it. Now you can enjoy SongBird again.

Note: More information about the package libvisual-0.4-plugins can be found at http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper-backports/sound/libvisual-0.4-plugins
