Re: [Banshee-List] Unable to start banshee 1.8.1

I'm pretty sure there's  nothing useful in there. I pasted it on IRC last night, but I'm not on that computer right now, so I can't do it again here at the moment.

I've also now tried using a test db to no avail.

The only other suggestions I have head on IRC were to reinstall banshee, or to upgrade to the daily build. I don't really want the unstable version on this machine, since it's supposed to be my non-testing machine, but these seem to be my only options left if I want to use banshee.

Regarding the daily builds. They really are stable and there are no database changes so after you have done testing if you feel safer on 1.8.1 then you can use ppa-purge to revert safely to your old version.

Any other thoughts?

Mike, are you able to get any kind of debug log?  Certainly something useful must be printed to the Terminal if Banshee doesn't even start.  Hopefully there will be some kind of clue in there, because this sounds really strange.

Hrm. I didn't try deleting the .cache file before, but I just did. It was many GB in size, which seems terribly wrong, but deleting it didn't help. Still no ability to start the program.

Any other ideas?

I just had exactly the same problem today using Banshee 1.9.3 from the unstable repository for Ubuntu. The CPU was at 100% and it was using so much memory that my computer was completely unresponsive, after closing Banshee, it wouldn't open for anything.
I got it open again by deleting the banshee-1 folders inside .config and .cache. I hope that helps... BTW, I'm using Ubuntu 10.10
I just thought it was just a weird behaviour on the unstable repository, but apparently it's in old versions too

Hi, I'm pretty familiar with Banshee (and I've filed a few bugs), but for some
reason the other day it was gobbling up CPU, so I decided to restart it. Now, I
can't get it to start again.

I've tried the various debug flags, tried disabling gtkrc and dbus, but nothing
has helped or provided any real clues. Failing that, I've deleted the banshee-1
folders in .config and in .gnome2...again to no avail.

When I try to start the program, all I get is a blank screen, and a CPU cranking
at 100%. I'm using banshee 1.8.1.

Any thoughts for debugging or fixing would be much appreciated, cause honestly,
rhythmbox just ain't my thang.

Help?

Mike
