I am also having these difficulties. The Streamrecorder extension kept freezing/crashing Banshee immediately after startup. The workaround given in #6 will help you disable problematic plugins. Edit ~/.config/banshee-1/addin-db-001/config.xml in a text editor, and set every "enabled" attribute to "false". Try re-enabling plugins until it crashes.
This bug should probably affect the banshee-extension-streamrecorder package, but there may be other affected extensions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to banshee in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1099218 Title: Banshee does not start, only shows greyed out window Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I try to start Banshee, it just loads up a greyed out window.
