Extensions do not show up although they are installed

[Ingo Gerth]

Binary package hint: banshee

Note: I'm coming from a question from askubuntu.com where I was advised to post a bug report:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/33083/why-dont-my-extensions-show-up-in-banshee

++++++++++

What was expected:
When you install any extensions from the software center, they should show up in the extensions list. For example, try installing the community extensions pack.

What happens instead:
They do not, rather the list only shows the standard extensions.

Steps to reproduce:
* Install the Banshee community extensions from the software center.
* Open Banshee.
* Be lucky and the extensions show up once in the list.
* If you are unlucky they won't show up.
* Close and reopen Banshee. Now there should definitely only be the standard extensions in the extensions browser.

Thanks for reporting this bug. This is due to Banshee's recent rename from
"banshee-1" to "banshee", and the new set of extensions not being uploaded to
Ubuntu just yet. I'll work on this tomorrow.

I realize this doesn't actually fix this for everyone, but you can get them to show up by moving the 'extensions' folder from /usr/lib/banshee-1 to /usr/lib/banshee. You will need root access. You'll have to do this again if you install more extensions from the repository.

Hi,

This bug should actually have been fixed some time ago. Could you post the
version of the banshee and banshee-community-extension packages installed
please? The command below should take care of it:

dpkg -l banshee banshee-community-extensions banshee-extension-\*

The banshee version is
2.1.0-1ubuntu1~hyper1+maverick

The community extensions version is
1.9.5-1ubuntu1~hyper1+maverick

And I'm still using maverick if that helps too. For all I know it's not even a problem in natty. I haven't quite had the time to upgrade, and I might just wait until October and upgrade straight to Oneiric anyway. Thanks for helping though.

It looks like you were using the packages from the PPA, and the PPA got disabled
in the process of upgrading.

If you re-enable the PPA and then upgrade the banshee and
banshee-community-extensions packages, the issue should resolve itself.

I'm closing this bug, because the issue has been fixed in a newer version of the
banshee-community-extensions package.
