Description Tim Fisken 2009-09-12 20:19:52 UTC 
If banshee is run without the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable set, banshee crashes with the following exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Unable to open the session message bus. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.
Parameter name: address
  at NDesk.DBus.Bus.Open (System.String address) [0x00000] 
  at NDesk.DBus.Bus.get_Session () [0x00000] 
  --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
  at NDesk.DBus.Bus.get_Session () [0x00000] 
  at Banshee.ServiceStack.DBusConnection.get_ApplicationInstanceAlreadyRunning () [0x00000] 
  at Booter.Booter.Main () [0x00000] 

Banshee ought to be able to find the session bus from either the _DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS property on the root window, or the relevant file in ~/.dbus/session-bus
Comment 1 Alexander Kojevnikov 2009-09-13 00:51:02 UTC 
This has already been fixed in git master. The fix will be available in the next version of Banshee.
