Complete debug output

banshee crashes with mono 3.2.1. 

Mono was updated from 3.0.7 to 3.2.1 on ArchLinux and banshee doesn't start anymore. It shows the window for a second without any content, then crashes completely. Attached is the complete debug output.

Let me know if you need more information.

The corresponding ArchLinux bug is here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36929
Comment 2 Claire Farron 2013-09-15 22:14:49 UTC 
After performing upgrade from 3.0.12 (found through old repositories after cleaning cache) to 3.2.1, I can confirm that I am having the same problem.

I also post the output of "banshee --debug" from my system.

Claire's Banshee Debug Output

Output from "banshee --debug" with Mono 3.2.1.
Comment 4 Bertrand Lorentz 2013-09-16 17:09:50 UTC 
Thank you for your bug report.

It seems the SGen garbage collector, which is now default in mono 3.2.x, has problems with Banshee.

Could you try running Banshee with the following command line, to revert to the old garbage collector ?

MONO_ENV_OPTIONS="--gc=boehm" banshee

It crashes even with MONO_ENV_OPTIONS="--gc=boehm" banshee

MONO_ENV_OPTIONS="--gc=boehm" banshee

It crashes with the MONO_ENV_OPTIONS="--gc=boehm" banshee command as well for me.
Comment 8 Andrés G. Aragoneses (IRC: knocte) 2013-09-18 21:42:31 UTC 
This seems to be one or two mono bugs.

I opened a bug for the sgen GC here: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14834

Can you help me? Please report the boehm bug. The best way to do it is getting a log of banshee when running inside GDB and having mono debug packages (or having compiled mono yourself), like I did in the report above, to get exact line numbers inside the mono runtime where the crash happens.

The bug above has been fixed, so I'm going to mark this as RESOLVED as well (no point in getting blocked on the other boehm issue, as Mono 3.2.x defaults to sgen.

Thank you for your bug report.
