Problem with Banshee Music Player

[chasha420]

Hi,

I've been using Banshee as my default music player for quite some time now...but only a few days back I started having problems with it all of a sudden. When ever I start banshee...the user interface is simply unclickable & unresponsive...the menus & nothing works but it shows up properly.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Edit:
Btw...I did uninstall, cleared cache & resintalled banshee but the problem persists. Let me know if anyone faced similar issues before.

start it from terminal to see if any errors come up - need some sort of error/log/info

Thanks Wolfden, I was thinking about posting the log but I wasn't sure if that would have been helpful...but anyway this is the log:

[wolfden]

what version and desktop of sabayon are you running?

[chasha420]

I had Sabayon 7 which is now fully updated so I think it's now Sabayon 8?

Code: Select all

# equo --version
entropy: 1.0_rc87
equo: 1.0_rc87

As for DE, I installed gnome 3 but now using Cinnamon full time....hope this helps.

Also let me know if I need to post more info.

Thanks!

Sorry for the double post, the issue hasn't been resolved but I've moved onto a cmdline music player called cmus & it's awesome!

First of all it's totally cmdline based using ncurses library so it's not only lightweight but it has all the features that I wanted from banshee like lastfm scrobbling, playlist & various playback options...but it's config is much more customisable

[wolfden]

I forgot to check on this

make sure equo deptest and equo libtest come back clean, also equo conf update
