Just tried launching Banshee in a guest session. It opens successfully and will play audio. I then started to try out extensions, the Karaoke extension will cause Banshee to freeze right there, and will no longer launch. So, I went back to my main session, opened ~/.config/banshee-1 /addin-db-001/config.xml, and disabled the Karaoke extension. Sure enough, Banshee now launches and works just fine.
This may not be the exact issue the reporter is experiencing, however, so I'd recommend they try this themselves to see if it works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to banshee in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1099218 Title: Banshee does not start, only shows greyed out window Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When I try to start Banshee, it just loads up a greyed out window.
