[Closed] Banshee won't play

jk121960 · 2012-01-11 12:06:40

Hi, I searched around and the other posts similar to this didn't apply. When I click a song is just flashes and also a song 2 lines below also flashes but no joy, I did a file compare of packages with an install where it works fine and that didn't produce any fix, here is the output from starting it on the command line. I see a reference here that looks like the problem, but I don't know what to do about it. gnome-settings-daemon is installed. I am unsure why it can't be reached. I am guessing that this is what is causing the 'Banshee.MultimediaKeys.MultimediaKeysService' to fail.

[root@zenlinux ~]# banshee

Showing us daemons from /etc/rc.conf might help. And, is there a particular reason why you are running banshee as root?

jk121960 · 2012-01-11 15:22:01

Hi and thanks, here is the daemons list :

DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond dbus ptal-init cupsd)

Yes I run as root because I am constantly mounting and un-mounting and I do a lot of dev work along with a lot of *nx testing, different desktops, different setups, so yes I know the risks, and yes it is not recommended I am on my own box and only my self to blame. Sorry just wanted to cover all the bases. I have many Arch builds and banshee is running fine. I keep my installs up to date I (-Syua) daily. I searched the forums and none fit this situation, although I did try some of the fixes to make sure it wasn't some odd dependency problem. It's odd, it seems to start -- the selection flickers them like I said 2 rows down then also flickers then nothing. The last line in the output shows where I clicked the file.

Thanks and I appreciate all your effort in helping me.

What is the output of

pacman -Qs gconf

or is there any output? If not, try installing gconf, and restart the computer. Maybe that would help.

jk121960 · 2012-01-11 15:34:08

you have several mistakes

1) starting banshee as root
2) neither of your problems exposed above are related to playing music. maybe you are missing gstreamer0.10-plugins

jk121960 · 2012-01-11 15:49:32
