Banshee will not start from the launcher or from the sound applet

[P-hickman69]

I had some kind of freeze with Banshee when I was doing some library maintenance and I shut it down after some time. When I tried to start banshee again there was no response. I did notice that the bamfdaemon was running, and I couldn't kill it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still no joy. I'm not familiar enough with Linux to review logs to find the problem and would appreciate any help you may have to offer.

Could you upload your $HOME/.config/banshee-1/log file, or otherwise the output of "banshee --debug" in the terminal?

hello,
here is the banshee-1 log file. Do you need the debug dump from terminal
too?

The log's good enough, thanks. I've identified that this bug is a duplicate of Bug #873787, and that it has been worked around in 2.2.1-1ubuntu2 which is present in oneiric-proposed.

Please follow the instructions in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/873787/comments/17 and post whether you still see the issue in the oneiric-proposed version on Bug #873787.
