banshee window remain white on startup on armel

[Nicolas Dechesne]

when i start banshee on pandaboard with an FS dist-upgraded this morning, banshee window is white. I can see the menu, i cannot close the app, i need to kill it.

note that i don't know if it worked in the past as this is the first time i try.

when i start from command line i get the attached error log.

This is reproducible on BeagleXM and iMX53 platforms with 20111003 daily images as well. Not specific to SMP as it was in Maverick. Will test other mono apps to see if this issue can be narrowed down.

[Oliver Grawert (ogra)]

i tested without the ubuntuone store plugin installed since that also shows errors in the log, but with no different result.

Installing the pixbuf gtk theme (the lack of which also resulted in some warnings) does not help either.

[Tobin Davis (gruemaster)]

Fails with version 2.2.0-1ubuntu2 (for those that were wondering).

[Tobin Davis (gruemaster)]

I have also tested f-spot to see if it was specific to mono, but f-spot runs without any issues. Not sure what else to test with to try to eliminate the support libraries.

[Tobin Davis (gruemaster)]

gtk-sharp2-examples also runs without failure.

It would appear this bug has been around for a while. Just fired up daily image from 20110921 with banshee 2.1.4-1ubuntu1. This time I get a full application window before the same exception is given. I have a working menu as well, but the menu items don't launch anything. The program is pretty much unresponsive at this point.

[Tobin Davis (gruemaster)]

This is a patch from gnome bugzilla 624976, which makes banshee work on armel. Still not sure of the root cause of the issue and why it is different on arm vs x86. Will need to do side by side comparisons to make a root cause analysis.

On Ubuntu 10.10 I have the same problems for some days now, did not change anything in Banshee and there was no update I guess.

When I start with sudo banshee, the program would start, but would not find the music files in the music home folder.
Here is what I get in the terminal, perhaps it helps:

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
