[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 642696] Re: banshee freezes shortly after start

[ortylp]

I tried 1.8.0 (from PPA) yesterday, it works "better" in the sense, that
it comes back after a few minuted with feedback, that some RSS feed
could not be updated, and after that gets back into 100% CPU
unresponsive state.

I thought, that if I start with a fresh DB and add RSS feeds manually
(why there is no bulk subscription available?) everything goes well.
Sorry, it is still unusable.  It looks as if every network access needed
at least a minute of 100% CPU time (on T500)... that is a joke.

After trying to use banshee for a few years (since 1.3) I gave up. I
managed to export some vital data using sqlitebrowser and import it into
gpodder...

Binary package hint: banshee

Banshee freezes shortly after start.
UNABLE TO READ OLD DATABASE AFTER UPGRADE!

Most likely the problem is at import of old banshee.db.
Removing all data from ~/.config/banshee resolves the problem, but there is no way to import old database.

The start with empty config directory is OK, after copying old banshee.db into its old place the symptom gets back.
Vacuuming the database as suspected had also no effect.

It means, that I have to downgrade Ubuntu or at list custom-compile old banshee to get my podcast database back.

Maybe some kind of import/export functionality on banshee upgrade would help.
Rebuilding and or validating the database might also help.
