banshee fail to launch

[Mariano Cabrera]

Binary package hint: banshee

I have report this a week ago, but it was assumed to be a duplicated for the 764646 bug. I applied the fix, so the "music store widget dies with «TypeError: find_credentials() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)" error is fix, no longer appears. But I still have the problem.

Starting Banshee from a terminal:
mariano@mariano-dell:~$ banshee

One more thing, I do no have a .ubuntuone folder in my home, so I added it, even with the Purchased subfolder, but nothing happened.

The stack trace is identical to the bug #764646. If you're still seeing the
issue, it means either that you did not apply the fix properly, or that the fix
is inadequate/incomplete. Please post a follow up comment on the original bug
with Banshee's output.

  duplicate 764646

Kind regards,

Which stack trace? The Python traceback printed on the console there is a different issue than #764646 and is non-fatal.

Mariano, can you please describe exactly what is wrong that you are expecting to happen, and is not?

[Mariano Cabrera (mariano-cabrera)]

The problem is that the banshee main window fails to open, but, as I realized today, banshee is running and you can play it with the indicator widget.

[Mariano Cabrera (mariano-cabrera)]

New clue: sudo Banshhe works fine.

[Xavier Bassery (xaba)]

According to comment 4, it seems that banshee can in fact run (works in the indicator applet) but the main interface wasn't showing up.
If such a case happens again, could you please try to first kill any running instance of banshee before launching it?
To do so, you can simply type in a terminal: killall banshee
If the output to the previous command is "banshee: no process found", this means that the culprit is not an already running instance of banshee for your user, but then maybe something wicked with the memorized position of the main window.
Both cases would be compatible with message #5.

[Mariano Cabrera (mariano-cabrera)]

Hi Xavier, Banshe is running for my user:
 2060 ? S 0:00 bash /usr/bin/banshee --redirect-log --play-enqueued
 2066 ? Sl 0:03 banshee /usr/lib/banshee/Banshee.exe --redirect-log -

The thing is, that it seems to be that the banshee main windows is there, but is invisible. I can switch between aplications and is there I can see it, when I do an Alt Tab, banshee is there.

Regards

Mariano, have you tried to remove your banshee configuration/cache directories (.config/banshee-1 and .cache/banshee-1) and then check how banshee works?

[Mariano Cabrera (mariano-cabrera)]

I remove the directories, but nothing change. This is the terminal output:

Mariano:

What resolution is your screen? And what does running the following commands output?

gconftool-2 -g /apps/banshee-1/player_window/x_pos
gconftool-2 -g /apps/banshee-1/player_window/y_pos

And if one of those is greater than your resolution, does running the following command resolve the issue?

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/banshee-1/player_window

[Mariano Cabrera (mariano-cabrera)]

Rodney:

My screen resolution is: 1920*1080.

gconftool-2 -g /apps/banshee-1/player_window/x_pos 0
gconftool-2 -g /apps/banshee-1/player_window/y_pos 224

I do not think this is greater than my screen resolution, but I do not like the 0, so I run the:

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/banshee-1/player_window

Banshee now is working fine!!!, thanks a lot.

[dobey (dobey)]

OK. Maybe the width/height got set to 0 then. It seemed more like it was off-screen though. Anyway, i'm setting this to Invalid as it works properly now.

[Daniel Ejsing-Duun (zilvador)]

I just experienced exactly the same bug. Banshee opened in the launchpad and, as I found out, on the desktop, but it was invisible. I got the same stack trace as in the original post.

I ran the gconftool command in #11 after finding this report, restarted banshee and now it works again. It seems that something is still blocking this.

I am running Oneiric.
