[Bug 883023] Re: Banshee silently crashes during play

 

I experienced this bug, and I have found a temporary fix (I use
Oneiric):

I don't know if it works the GUI way, but since I prefer the command-
line anyways:

-------------You Must be An Administrator on your local machine------------------------------------------------------------
sudo apt-get remove banshee # Do NOT use --purge
sudo apt-get install banshee
sudo shutdown -r now # You could also use 'sudo reboot now'
-------------You Must be An Administrator on your local machine------------------------------------------------------------

Or we could summarize it on one line (This installs a few extensions
too, and it also updates your other packages - because this is what I
used | Copy and paste this on one line in the Terminal) :

sudo apt-get remove banshee; sudo apt-get update;  sudo apt-get install
banshee banshee-extension-soundmenu banshee-extension-
ubuntuonemusicstore; sudo apt-get upgrade; shutdown -r now

I was actually pretty amazed no one tried reinstalling.

Bug description:
  Banshee crashes when a DAAP server vanishes.

  Test case:
  1. Start up Banshee and make sure the DAAP extension is enabled.
  2. Start up a DAAP server, e.g. Tangerine. This can be done on a separate machine to avoid touching Banshee (especially because Tangerine runs the CollectionIndexer).
  3. Wait until the DAAP server appears in Banshee.
  4. Close the DAAP server (killall -SIGINT tangerine/^C)
  5. Banshee crashes.
