[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 688098] Re: An unhandled exception was thrown: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

[Athul Iddya]

I have made a mistake. The problem I was facing was different from Greg.
It looked similar to me then, but when I checked it again today, the
exception output slightly is different. In the output of banshee
--debug, I saw "The database disk image is malformed". So, I deleted the
database file of Banshee and reinstalled it. Now I'm not facing the
problem anymore.

Title:
  An unhandled exception was thrown: Object reference not set to an
  instance of an object

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  Unknown
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  I was listening to an internet radio station when this error occurred.

  The window with the exception (pasted below) popped up, then banshee
  switched to a different (unfortunately annoying) internet radio
  station. I couldn't stop playback nor close banshee. I copied the
  exception out of the popup and tried to close the popup, no response.
  Had to do a killall banshee-1.

  Unfortunately apport didn't catch this.

  
  Exception output:
