Banshee won't restart after quit
Last modified: 2008-10-16 20:06:59 UTC
If I leave banshee after I've quit before (not close but really quit) and then start up banshee again, it won't start anymore. This happened with banshee 1.00 and also the current SVN Trunk I installed. When I restart from the desktop, nothing happens. When I start from the terminal using the command 'banshee-1' it just hangs until I ctrl-c. I'm running Ubuntu Hardy.
Strider, may you please run Banshee with the debug switch (e.g., "banshee-1 --debug"). Create an attachment with the crash trace. Note: Please, don't just paste the text into the bug comments section here. Thanks.
Kevin, where is the crash trace created ? I started 'banshee-1 --debug' from CLI (and again had to ctrl-c to end the application) and I see the following info : ** Running Mono with --debug ** [Debug 23:19:07.139] NDesk.DBus.Bus.Session.RequestName ('org.bansheeproject.Banshee') => InQueue but I don't know where I can find the trace file..
there is no actual file that written. When the program crashes, you should see output about exceptions. You need to pipe the output spew to a file. Example of writing the output to a file: banshee-1 --debug > debug_ouput.txt Attach the created file "debug_output.txt"
The "InQueue" in the output you have means that banshee has detected another instance already running. You can check if you have a "banshee-1" process by running the following command : ps -ef | grep banshee When you start "banshee-1 --debug" and there is no other instance already running, the debug output starts with : NDesk.DBus.Bus.Session.RequestName ('org.bansheeproject.Banshee') => PrimaryOwner
Created attachment 113190 [details] --debug output of banshee not quiting, but hanging without errors I am having the same issue with latest svn on Opensuse 11. Banshee won't quit, but hangs.
I can confirm once again what Peter just mentioned. It's easy reproducable : 1) start up 'banshee-1' from the command line in a terminal window 2) in the application choose Media -> quit 3) a 'ps -ef | grep banshee' from another terminal window shows banshee is still running 4) go back to the orignal window and tap ctrl-c 5) a ps -ef now shows that the process is gone 6) you can restart banshee again. As said before, this happens with svn trunk version. I am not sure I had the same behaviour with 1.0.0 though. Therefore I changed the version in the bug to 'svn trunk'.
This bug can be closed now. As of version 1.3.2. Banshee closes correctly if I choose Media>quit and I can restart again.
Thanks for reporting back!
