I like to upload my music to my Google account and I use Google Music Manager to do this.

When I downloaded the music manager the first time, I wanted to actually download all the music I purchased from Google onto my Ubuntu 12.04 Dell Latitude E6400 32-bit. It worked fine and all the music downloaded.

Now I have ripped some of my old cds and want to upload that content to Google. When I chose Google Music Manager from my applications, it pops up in my tray as running but nothing actually happens. When I click on it and chose options which used to open up the interface to chose which folders you wanted to upload and so forth, nothing happens.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and it still does the same thing. I ran it from command line and I see I am getting the errors below.

I intend on asking this same question in a Google forum but I wanted to ask here since I usually get better answers from the Ubuntu community.

t:~$ google-musicmanager

log4cxx: No appender could be found for logger (root).

log4cxx: Please initialize the log4cxx system properly.

  1. Quit google-musicmanager.
  2. Delete the directory ~/.config/google-musicmanager.
  3. Start google-musicmanager again. You'll get an initial setup wizard again - this time, choose an empty directory to upload music. Then the bug will not be there anymore.

I found this workaround on ubuntuforums.org.

I had the exact same problems, and after deleting google-music-manager from ~/.config it persisted... Until I realized that you have to give Google solid user input on all prompts.

When it asks where to upload from, choose your music folder from the file-tree. Don't just choose the default option. Once I had filled out all boxes and forms, music manager behaves normally, at least in terms of responding to mouse clicks.

I also had to fix a DNS problem, but it's not likely you have that too.

Now if I could only get it to keep downloading my music without quitting halfway through.

Downgrading is the only solution that works for me: google-musicmanager 64bit or google-musicmanager 32bit
