Hello
I am using Lenny and have noticed when starting rhythmbox that most of
the plugins fail to load. For instance cover art, jamendo and Magnatune
pop up windows that say unable to activate plugin. I have looked for a
package maybe i missed with via synaptic but havent found anything. Is
there something I have missed perhaps, thanks.

I don't experience those issues. If you haven't already, you might want to try
to purge the rhythmbox package and then reinstall it.

Searching google for: 'rhythmbox "unable to activate plugin"' turns up
several people who say installing the following two packages fixed the
problem:

libgnomevfs2-extra
python-gst

I do have both of those installed already, which would explain why I
haven't seen the plugin errors.

I have the gnomevfs2-extra installed but apt says it cannot find
python-gst for some reason

that's because python-gst must be accompanied (that's how it's
spelled?) by the version number.

try do "aptitude install python-gst0.10"

I was having the same problem, and yesterday installed python-gst and
all was solved.
