Hello,
I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 and GMB 1.1.15 sometimes (not always) hangs or crashes on quit.
I did not have this problem on Ubuntu 14.04
As it turns out there already is an issue on github: https://github.com/squentin/gmusicbrowser/issues/131 (https://github.com/squentin/gmusicbrowser/issues/131)
I can confirm the same problem on 16.04.1 LTS.
BTW, has Quentin stopped development of gMusicbrowser? There hasn't been an update in over a year!
Hi,
I have found a workaround for the segmentation fault.
On line 1839 of gmusicbrowser.pl (gmusicbrowser-1.1.15), comment out "exit".
For example:
exec $Options{Shutdown_cmd} if $turnoff && $Options{Shutdown_cmd};
# exit; # <= This causes segmentation fault.
PS. I am using gmusicbrowser on Linux Mint 18.
Thanks very much for the help, guys, and thank you Butty for the workaround (and details).
Seems to work great on Ubuntu 16.04 :)

Where is the
gmusicbrowser.pl
file?
gmusicbrowser.pl is, in my case (Gentoo linux) actually /usr/bin/gmusicbrowser. I applied this edit (in my case the line number was slightly higher, but easy to spot) and it worked like a charm!
on xubuntu 18.04 the file is:
/usr/bin/gmusicbrowser
Yes, where is that file? Can any kind soul point it out?
Using gmusicbrowser in Ubuntu 16.04, and I can't for the life of me find it. I love this program and have used it for years, but these intermittent crashes ever since I upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 are becoming annoying.
Found it. In Ubuntu 16.04, it's just named gmusicbrowser, and can be found in /usr/bin/
Thanks again to Butty for the workaround. It totally did the trick.
