I found bug 845488 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/banshee/+bug/845488) which seems very similar to this bug, but because I don't know if the underlying cause is the same, I don't know for sure whether or not it's a duplicate of this one.
I'm also attaching an strace log like the reporter in 845488, in case it's of any use. ** Attachment added: "banshee.strace.output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/841343/+attachment/2376887/+files/banshee.strace.output -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841343 Title: Banshee hangs on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/841343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
