Point taken about manual mounting for power conservation. However, this problem just continues to get worse for me.
Apparently the solution of telling it to mount was only a one-time fix. Actually, for me it seems my extra drives are mounted by default (when I first log in and right click the drive I'm presented with the option to unmount). Anyway, now I can mount and unmount and re-mount to my heart's content. Banshee still doesn't play anything. Even my original duct tape of playing some random track from the file browser to trick Banshee into believing it knew where everything was no longer works. Frustratingly, this happens: 1) Pick track to play; locate in browser and hit "Open with Banshee" 2) Track plays--Banshee seems to know where track is located 3) Select the SAME track from my library view. Fail. X appears next to track name and "Open Folder" produces the error mentioned above. Any suggestions where to start?? As an exasperated aside I am incredibly frustrated with Linux. Nothing works as it should. I am incredibly disappointed with the failure of open source content I've met so far. It seems like every minor thing I want to do becomes tied up in an endless web of (to me) meaningless terminal jargon, and even this only leads to a solution about 50% of the time. -- 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/751575 Title: banshee no longer plays music gstreamer resource error NotFound Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: banshee I can no longer play locally stored music in Banshee.
