Created attachment 714299 [details] Banshee error log After updating my system, banshee started to crash with a SIGABRT every time a song finished playing and the next one started. I attached a debug log this bug report. The crash happens in gconf-sharp and the root cause is covered in a few other error reports which also include different ways to patch the problem: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692374 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/1048341 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32927 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start banshee. 2. Play a track. 3. Wait for banshee to crash. (See attached debug log) Versions of relevant components: gnome-sharp-2.24.1-10.fc18.i686 dbus-glib-0.100-1.fc18.i686 banshee-2.6.0-1.fc18.i686 mono-core-2.10.8-3.fc18.i686 kernel-PAE-3.8.3-203.fc18.i686
Created attachment 714300 [details] Patch for initializing dbus_glib in GConf and prevent it from crashing Unfortunately, upstream is not able to fix the bug at this point - partly because it's not clear whose fault it is. Meanwhile, the gconf-sharp maintainers of Arch Linux fixed the problem with a simple patch. I attached the patch and hope that it can be applied to the gnome-sharp codebase in Fedora (but I haven't tested it myself). It might not be the best solution but it could serve as a temporary fix until the bug is fixed upstream. At least I would be able to continue using my favorite music player on Fedora. Otherwise I would have to switch to Amarok and loose all my "smart playlists".
