[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1196828] Re: Cannot restart banshee after crash

[Michael Foord]

This happens to me with both banshee *and* rhythmbox. I prefer banshee
so it's most annoying for that. The only solution seems to be a reboot.
(I also have the <defunct> banshee process and it won't restart). I have
a pretty stock ubuntu 14.04 install.

Title:
  Cannot restart banshee after crash

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If banshee crashes the sound/audio system menu still shows it as
  available but nothing happens if I click on it. With ps I can see a
  defunct banshee process that cannot be removed. If I try to run
  banshee from the command line nothing happens. Restarting gdm and/or
  unity also has no effect. As far as I can tell there is now no way to
  start banshee short of rebooting which is annoying. Does anyone know
  how I can start banshee without closing everything down and rebooting?
  Perhaps there is some part of Ubuntu that controls the sound menu and
  I can restart that? I was hoping it was part of gdm or unity but
  restarting them didn't help.

  Description:	Ubuntu 13.04
  Release:	13.04
  but I have seen the same behaviour in 12.04
