Why does Google Music Manager refuse to open in 12.04?

Solution 1:

  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.
