my banshee doesn't start anymore. i tried to start it over the terminal just to see if something is broken but all the terminal gave me was this:

moere@SAMSUNG-NF110:~$ banshee

moere@SAMSUNG-NF110:~$ 

so i have no clue what to do. i already tried:

sudo apt-get purge banshee; sudo apt-get install banshee

and after that removing

~/.gconf/apps/banshee-1
~/.cache/banshee-1
~/.config/banshee-1

but nothing helped me out. muinshee is working fine ... any suggestions?

update: i tried using sudo banshee and it worked

`moere@SAMSUNG-NF110:~$ sudo banshee

but afterwards i tried it the "normal" way again and it resulted the same as in my first try using banshee in terminal. so it it's still broken.

  • Wow. I thought I was the only one to experience this problem. For me clearing ~/.cache/banshee-1 worked.

  • I reported a bug on launchpad and on their bug tracker, and got no reply on either :/

  • have you by any chance installed the ATI proprietary driver version 11.9? Cause I downloaded and installed that and banshee crash on start. In fact I don't think 11.9 is working at all, so i switched back to 11.8 and things worked fine.

What Monton0815 did worked for me:

  1. Log on as the Guest user
  2. Start Banshee
  3. Log out
  4. Log in to the user account where Banshee isn't working
  5. Start Banshee
  6. Happy Days
0

I can confirm that this worked for me also

  1. Log on as the Guest user
  2. Start Banshee
  3. Log out
  4. Log in to the user account where Banshee isn't working
  5. Start Banshee
