banshee crashes on last.fm login

Thanks for the bug report, but as this package is not from the Ubuntu archive I'm closing the Ubuntu task.

Opening a Banshee task assigned to the owner of the PPA.

Hmm looks like the correct version you're supposed to be having. I'll
check if others are having such a problem. I sure am not.

Actually, could you try clearing your Banshee settings and trying again?
First close Banshee, then run these two commands:

==
rm -rf ~/.config/banshee{,-1} ~/.gnome2/banshee
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/banshee{,-1}
==

--
Hyperair

I cleared the banshee settings, started banshee in debug mode and get the following output, until it crashes again with the same error.

$ rm -rf ~/.config/banshee{,-1} ~/.gnome2/banshee
$ gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/banshee{,-1}
$ banshee-1 --debug

Well, after that it shows the same error like above in the terminal.

Forwarded upstream.

exact same issue here.

To all subscribers of this bug:

Please update Banshee to 1.2.0 from PPA and see if the issue still occurs.

Hyperair

I can confirm that I have the same problem with 1.2.1-2~hardy1
My debug output is similar to the output above with "System.Xml.XmlException: Not allowed character was found"

Confirming. I don't know why this bug was marked as Invalid when people are still experiencing it.

Because this wasn't reported about a version available in Ubuntu repositories. Andrew Starr-Bochicchio mentioned this in a previous comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/239346/comments/1.

It's invalid because the reports don't happen using Ubuntu mainstream packages, but using the packages from my PPA. Take a look at the gnome-bug linked on the same row as "Banshee".

I'm afraid it is happening in Ubuntu's package for me :(

@ Iain

Are you on Intrepid? Could you post the output of "apt-cache policy banshee"

@ Andrew Conkling and hyperair

It seems that this version is now in Intrepid, so maybe the Ubuntu task should now be reopened (if it can be confirmed on Intrepid of course).

So yes, latest. As I mentioned over on bugzilla, it's happening with SVN trunk too. We should probably move any discussion over there.

Thanks all.

Sorry, that says (none) as I'm now running SVN trunk. I have confirmed this with 1.2.1-3 when I originally commented.

Agreed, but we should wait until Iain confirms that he's using the Intrepid package.

Here's a debdiff backporting the patch from upstream to fix this issue for Intrepid.

Hopefully before Jaunty ;) I've not been doing too much packaging work lately as I've just started a PhD, but shall get back on the ball soon. Thanks for the upload, and the encouragement.

Just had this bug in Karmic with all updates (banshee 1.5.1).

Also just experienced this, Karmic with the PPA Banshee... clicking on authenticate or refresh causes Banshee to hang for a few seconds and then crash.

You aren't experiencing the same bug described here. Please file a new
one if you are having crashes.

Thanks,
Iain
