Banshee stops responding frequently

[zorblek]

Frequency varies, but I'd say on average it freezes about once per hour. As far as I can tell there's no particular pattern to it - It happens whether or not I'm interacting with banshee or not. It also happens whether or not any music is playing. RAM and CPU usage are normal, so I'm pretty sure it's not freezing up for lack of resources. It seems like sometimes the music keeps playing and sometimes it doesn't. I suspect (although I haven't confirmed this) that it keeps playing the rest of whatever track it's on but doesn't go on to the next one.

i have the exact same behavior, i need to kill the process to get rid of it.

Could you run "killall -SIGQUIT banshee" and upload Banshee's output after that? It can be found at ~/.config/banshee-1/log.

It doesn't look like it worked. Did you run "killall -SIGQUIT banshee" as
requested? Just killall won't work, as it sends SIGTERM by default.

yes on the second log i done what you said with ; i'll try again

[GUARNIERI (guarnieri-philippe)]

after a new try; but a curious phenomena; this command "killall ..." doesn't kill banshee but the system become very slow , the cpu rate for banshee is about 70% and i need to kill the process with the monitor to end the task ; after the system become again normal

From the stack trace found in your new log, it doesn't look like Banshee is
hanging at all. Did you run the command immediately after starting Banshee? It
needs to be done when Banshee stops responding so that the stack trace reveals
what Banshee is doing.
