[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 875632] Re: When http_proxy is unreachable, banshee spins 200% cpu (and may lock entire system if unlucky, requiring unclean reboot)

[Oscar Tiderman]

Hi, I just installed the update from proposed, now Banshee uses 200% CPU
whenever I try to select any of the "Online Media" choices in the menu,
not just Ubuntu One Music Store. I am connected to teh Internetz, no
proxies or anything. First time I started Banshee after update it asked
me to register on U1, even though I already am and have been in there
from Banshee before, and then crashed.

I need to killall -15 banshee to close it. Never had any problems with
Banshee before but found this bug now when this problem appeared after
updating.

Title:
  When http_proxy is unreachable, banshee spins 200% cpu (and may lock
  entire system if unlucky, requiring unclean reboot)

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  Incomplete
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “banshee” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Committed
Status in “banshee” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  System Settings -> Network -> Network proxy
  You can set e.g. "localhost", port "9090", assuming you're not running any service on that port.

  Now run Banshee, and attempt to use the Online Media->Internet
  Archive.

  Banshee will stop responding to any input, and go into an infinite
  loop (on at least two different threads).

  It is possible to reproduce situations where Banshee will hang while a
  context menu is open.  It is then not possible to switch to a
  different application.  An inexperienced user would be forced to hard-
  reboot the machine, which could cause data loss.
