I have this problem too (or something very much like it). I have recently upgraded to 11.10 and am using banshee version 2.3.2 installed via the ppa.
The problem may be linked to syncing or auto syncing to a mass storage device. When I run without my ear-pod attached it doesn't crash. However, I ran it (without the debug flag but with my ear-pod attached) and got this: xxx@xxx~$ banshee [Info 14:11:49.641] Running Banshee 2.3.2: [Ubuntu 11.10 bc6b336 (linux-gnu, x86_64) @ 2011-12-12 05:06:31 UTC] [Info 14:11:50.351] Updating web proxy from GConf [Info 14:11:50.425] All services are started 0.623545 [Info 14:11:53.648] nereid Client Started [Info 14:11:53.697] GStreamer version 0.10.35.0, gapless: True, replaygain: False [Info 14:11:53.715] AppleDeviceSource is ignoring unmounted volume 15 GB File system [Info 14:11:54.748] AppleDeviceSource is ignoring unmounted volume 199 MB File system [Info 14:11:54.749] AppleDeviceSource is ignoring unmounted volume 20 GB File system [Info 14:11:54.753] AppleDeviceSource is ignoring unmounted volume 17 GB File system Unhandled Exception: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.Object].get_Item (System.String key) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Banshee.Dap.MassStorage.MassStorageSource.OnImportFinished (System.Object o, System.EventArgs args) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Hyena.Collections.QueuePipeline`1[System.String].OnFinished () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Banshee.Collection.ImportManager.OnFinished () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Banshee.Collection.Database.DatabaseImportManager.OnFinished () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Hyena.Collections.QueuePipeline`1[System.String].OnElementFinished (System.Object o, System.EventArgs args) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Hyena.Collections.QueuePipelineElement`1[System.String].OnFinished () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Hyena.Collections.QueuePipelineElement`1[System.String].Processor (System.Object state) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 -- 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/875122 Title: Banshee Spontaneously Closes Shortly After Launch Status in Banshee Music Player: Invalid Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Fresh install of 11.10 fully updated, no error messages.
