After recent upgrades Banshee-1 error.

methuselah · 2009-02-12 06:22:32

This is the error message:

$ banshee-1

Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Unable to open the session message bus. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.
Parameter name: address

I checked the Bugs search engine and it seems that no one else is having this happen.

Have you launched dbus?

I had recently changed my DAEMONS to this:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal network netfs portmap @fam @crond @cpufreq @laptop-mode !avahi-daemon @sensors @alsa @keytouch @wifi-radar @cups)

then I just changed it back to this:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal network netfs portmap @fam @crond @cpufreq @laptop-mode !avahi-daemon @sensors @alsa @keytouch @wifi-radar @cups)

.... and I still get this error after restarting:

$ banshee-1

I'm not sure if this is what you meant when you said I needed to launch dbus..... if it's not, then could you please explain to me what steps I need to do.... I looked for a wiki about dbus and it did not exist (red link). Thank you.

I found that I am able to open banshee with "dbus-launch banshee-1" but I still get the same error when running it with just "banshee-1":

Does anybody know how I can fix this?

Exactly the same issue here as well!

Well, besides the recent upgrades.... there are 2 different things that I have done to my computer that I am wondering if it had an effect on banshee to make it start reacting like this.

The first thing that I have done recently is that I had to do that /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf workaround like everybody else.

The second thing I did was I changed my ~/.xinitrc from "exec startxfce4" to "exec ck-launch-session xfce4-session" (as well as adding "session optional ck_connector.so" to /etc/pam.d/login).

For me in LXDE, banshee-1 spits the same error messages that were mentioned here. In GNOME there was no error. banshee-1 working fine with dbus-launch banshee-1. All dependencies were installed correctly. The problem seems to be a registering issue with dbus and also hal policy related to avahi. Now I am using exaile and waiting for the errors to simmer down.

Here is a link to look into http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … ee-531781/

I'm experiencing this right now too with awesome. Using dbus-launch works.

Im using dbus-launch and it runs but it wont give me anything graphical.

~]$ dbus-launch banshee-1
