I have had this problem for a while running banshee behind a proxy. Problem is banshee reads its internet connection settings from gconf. Manually editing my gconf settings solved this.
$ gconftool -s /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy -t bool true $ gconftool -s /system/http_proxy/host -t string 127.0.0.1 $ gconftool -s /system/http_proxy/port -t int 80 $ gconftool -s /system/http_proxy/use_same_proxy -t bool true $ gconf -s /system/proxy/mode -t string manual courtesy of http://wazem.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-change-gnome-proxy- settings-on.html -- 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/759619 Title: banshee cannot access last.fm account Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: banshee Banshee asks me: "Account details are needed before you can connect to Last.fm" I'm a subscriber, so no worries there. I'm entering my username (cannot enter a password anywhere, why?) Then I'm asked "You need to allow Banshee to access your Last.fm account", but no matter what or how often I'm clicking, it won't work. See attached screenshots In my last.fm preferences, banshee won't appear as "connected app".
