banshee crashes with assertation failure in 10.10 beta

Originally reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636403 Binary package hint: banshee In 10.10 beta Banshee 1.7.5 crashes with assertation failure after starting the program. Apport appears and when you choose to report the problem apport takes a few moments and then tells you that the problem cannot be reported because reporting assertation failures is not supported (or something similar). I'll include the log file I found in /home/user/.config/banshee-1/log in case it is of some use.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if that crash (from which the bug report was generated) was due to assertation failure as this time apport didn't launch at all. And the first time it was apport that told me that it was assertation failure. However, I hope that crash report helps. If you need another crash I can try to produce one.
Thank you for the report. It appears that you are getting permission denied errors and file not found errors. While this could be handled more gracefully this isn't on the face a Banshee issue as we simply can't access the files in question. However the log on launchpad does not appear to be complete and does not run in debug mode. Can you reproduce the problem when running: banshee-1 --debug --redirect-log Then the log should be in ~/.config/banshee-1/log If banshee hangs instructions for correctly obtaining the information we need can be found on http://banshee.fm/contribute/file-bugs
I haven't been able to reproduce the problem with banshee-1 --debug --redirect-log in a way that Apport would pop up and tell me that crash was due to assertation failure, I can get the application to hang, but that's completely different bug. The original crash may have been caused by some bizarre chain of event's that I am not able to recreate. BTW, should banshee scan all available usb devices for music & videos after it starts up, even when the extension for library watcher is not enabled? Or is this a bug that should be reported?
Since you say you can't reproduce the assertion bug I am closing this. As for scanning the system I believe that is intended behavior (as I recall presently that is an Ubuntu specific change). Thank you for the report, feel free to reopen this if it happens again or open a new bug for any additional issues you may encounter.
Seems to have been fixed in 1.8.0, apparently.
