Description Nathan Thomas 2011-01-27 16:08:30 UTC
Description of problem:
After upgrading to webkitgtk-1.3.10-1.fc14, banshee crashes when selecting 'Now Playing'. Downgrading webkitgtk to the previous version solves the problem. Not sure if this is an issue with banshee or webkitgtk, apologies if I've filed this in the wrong place.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
banshee-1.8.0-10.fc14-1 x86_64, webkitgtk-1.3.10-1.fc14

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open banshee
2. Start playing track
3. Click on 'Now Playing'
  
Actual results:
banshee crashes

Expected results:
banshee should keep playing and display the track info and cover art

Additional info:
I have 'Now Playing' set to 'Simplify' by default (no right-hand sidebar), don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Comment 1 Christian Krause 2011-01-29 11:26:47 UTC
I can reproduce the problem. It looks like that there is an issue regarding the usage of the different X11 visuals.

As a workaround, you can start banshee like this for now:
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 banshee-1

Comment 2 Nathan Thomas 2011-01-29 16:50:20 UTC
Thanks Christian, the workaround works for me!

Let me know if there are any updates you would like me to test, I'm no programmer but I'd be happy to do what I can to help squash this bug.

Comment 3 Christian Krause 2011-02-05 15:38:19 UTC
I have added my findings to the upstream bug report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641515
it is still unclear whether the issue should be fixed in webkitgtk or in banshee.

Another workaround is to disable all extensions which use internally webkitgtk like Wikipedia or Amazon.

Thanks for the update. Your second workaround is even better for me.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 21:25:00 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
