The issue is indeed an intermittent crash. I've just recently upgraded to Raring, under Precise it was happening with an exponential distribution with a mean of about 1 crash per 24 hours of play time. My banshee file list was built under 12.04, and then I upgraded to 13.04. I've asked banshee to redo its search for music files.
I've added .config/banshee-1/always-debug, and will attach a proper log file the next time it crashes. -- 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/1216142 Title: Banshee Crashed in middle of playback Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This is just a generic crash. However, there seems to be no option to check in the aport menu that says "program crashed unexpectedly", so I checked "sound stopped playing" (which is a trivial consequence). There needs to be a spontaneous crash option in aport. Also hopefully the autogenerated stack trace is useful.
