Banshee Failing to Import Media, Crashes playing music (DBus problem?)

hkothari · 2011-10-23 02:38:52

Background info, I'm running dwm if that matters.

Whenever I launch Banshee if I try to import media, or even if I'm just playing music it will randomly crash (immediately if I try to import music, and after the song starts if I'm playing music) with the following error:

I remember seeing something with DBus in errors before so I tried running it with dbus-launch and I got a more descriptive error on the crash, any ideas on how to fix this so my Banshee works?

Debug info from gdb:


=================================================================
Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries 
used by your application.

Aborted

When music is playing and it crashes I sometimes get more descriptive errors as well about the connection to dbus being lost or something. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Just a little bump here, exactly the same behavior... It started after I switched to systemd yesterday...

s0lid7 · 2012-11-06 15:33:52

I had similar problem (it didn't crash but just refused to play any file) after todays update (version 2.6.0) everything seems to be fine.

aliencam · 2012-11-17 23:37:19

Same thing happening here after switching to systemd mixed.

Banshee stopped crashing for a little while after the 2.6.0 update, but is now crashing again...
also, I know this is black magic, but it seems to last longer if I run banshee from terminal... (I can listen to up to two songs before it crashes!)

s0lid7 · 2012-11-18 02:18:56

Hadn't use banshee for a while, i just checked and similar problem here too. It crashes instantly when i press "next track" button.

tobiwae · 2012-11-20 16:26:32

Same problem here, really annoying...

Since systemd and the dbus change banshee segfault all the time, it often looses connection to dbus. maybe a gconf-sharp or dbus issue. And i changed from rythmbox to banshee because rythmbox was unstable ^^

EDIT1: Thunar also often crashes when i empty the trash bin, that is also a dbus connection issue (i think), if someone cares to know ;-)

EDIT2: Does someone has an idea how to debug dbus, or just test dbus, i try to emit some messages to see how often it fails to connect, but the i just found the dbus-send program, and still, i need to learn the whole dbus protocol to just send a message, is there a simple dbus-test script? Something like Hello work onto the bus ...
