How To Fix Songbird 1.2.0 Crash At Start On Ubuntu 9.04

And if you start Songbird from the terminal you will see following lines has printed on the console.

If you came across this problem what you have to do is remove libvisual-0.4-plugins package from your system. Some forums posts ask you to remove libvsual-0.4-0, but don’t do it. It’ll remove some other important programs in your Ubuntu system if remove libvisual. Make sure that you only remove libvisual-plugins.
This fix also work in Ubuntu 8.10.
