Agreed the situation wouldn't be much better in terms of playing music but I think banshee's behaviour could be. At the moment Ubuntu appears not to work as I try to start banshee and nothing happens (not even an error message). Are there no system calls that can return errors instead of deadlocking when failing to read files from a network mounted filesystem? If not perhaps it is a failing of the system? If there are shouldn't banshee be using them? Perhaps for some technical reason it is not possible to implement them?
I've the created the empty file and I'll attach the log if it happens again. -- 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. Description: Ubuntu 13.04 Release: 13.04 but I have seen the same behaviour in 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/1196828/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
