Asked By Walter W Pilon 0 points N/A Posted on - 10/29/2013

Hello,

I am trying to test out indicator-whether using the unstable builds under Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. Suddenly, I found my system stuck for a couple of times and I received the following error message when I tried to open banshee. It is very annoying to me and have spent many hours fixing it. I really need your assistance to resolve the following matter. Thanks in advance.

Ubuntu encountered a fatal error

Hello,

Banshee is a buggy program for Linux. This is a known one has got its solution, too.

Open a terminal and run the following commands:

$ cd ~/.config/banshee-1

$ sqlite3 banshee.db ".dump" > dump

$ mv banshee.db banshee.db.backup

$ cat dump | sqlite3 banshee.db

Then start Banshee. It should solve your problem.

If it doesn’t work, backup the database file and re-import your media. This might make you lose your ratings and playcounts.

Then your Banshee will be healed.

Also, get the latest Banshee. It will surely come with an improved settings and bug free.

Hi.

This is an well known problem with Ubuntu but unfortunately it is still not fixed. For Banshee this means that its data base is completely corrupted. For luck, you can fix this in few minutes. Follow these simple steps. Open your terminal and type in

cd ~/.config/banshee-1

sqlite3 banshee.db ".dump" > dump

mv banshee.db banshee.db.backup

cat dump | sqlite3 banshee.db

If this wil not resolve your error, then delete benshee.db in ~/.config/banshee-1.
