I experienced this bug, and I have found a temporary fix (I use Oneiric): I don't know if it works the GUI way, but since I prefer the command- line anyways:
-------------You Must be An Administrator on your local machine------------------------------------------------------------ sudo apt-get remove banshee # Do NOT use --purge sudo apt-get install banshee sudo shutdown -r now # You could also use 'sudo reboot now' -------------You Must be An Administrator on your local machine------------------------------------------------------------ Or we could summarize it on one line (This installs a few extensions too, and it also updates your other packages - because this is what I used | Copy and paste this on one line in the Terminal) : sudo apt-get remove banshee; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install banshee banshee-extension-soundmenu banshee-extension- ubuntuonemusicstore; sudo apt-get upgrade; shutdown -r now I was actually pretty amazed no one tried reinstalling. -- 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/883023 Title: Banshee silently crashes during play Status in Banshee Music Player: Unknown Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “mono-zeroconf” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “banshee” source package in Oneiric: Invalid Status in “mono-zeroconf” source package in Oneiric: Fix Committed Status in “banshee” source package in Precise: Invalid Status in “mono-zeroconf” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: Banshee crashes when a DAAP server vanishes. Test case: 1. Start up Banshee and make sure the DAAP extension is enabled. 2. Start up a DAAP server, e.g. Tangerine. This can be done on a separate machine to avoid touching Banshee (especially because Tangerine runs the CollectionIndexer). 3. Wait until the DAAP server appears in Banshee. 4. Close the DAAP server (killall -SIGINT tangerine/^C) 5. Banshee crashes.
