Well, that's true. It probably a deadlock of some kind. Create an empty file ~/.config/banshee-1/always-debug, restart Banshee, and and the next time it hangs, run "killall -SIGQUIT banshee". After that attach ~/.config/banshee-1/log here. That being said, even if Banshee didn't deadlock, the situation wouldn't be much better. Thing is, Banshee plays media files from that mount. If the mount hangs, then it follows that your playback is going to hang, or in this case, based on your logs, writing metadata changes back to file (presumably play counts). And because it's hanging in the middle of a system call, you're also not going to be able to quit and restart, because at least one thread will be completely stuck (and unkillable). -- Kind regards, Loong Jin -- 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/1196828 Title: Cannot restart banshee after crash Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: If banshee crashes the sound/audio system menu still shows it as available but nothing happens if I click on it. With ps I can see a defunct banshee process that cannot be removed. If I try to run banshee from the command line nothing happens. Restarting gdm and/or unity also has no effect. As far as I can tell there is now no way to start banshee short of rebooting which is annoying. Does anyone know how I can start banshee without closing everything down and rebooting? Perhaps there is some part of Ubuntu that controls the sound menu and I can restart that? I was hoping it was part of gdm or unity but restarting them didn't help.
