Well after posting the explanation of what I have done about libpng12 and libpng16 and reading from Chow Loong Jin (hyperair) that his analysys of MONO points him to :
Mono: DllImport error loading library: '/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: version `PNG12_0' not found I tried to remove the symbolic link I did add manually : $ sudo rm /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 The program looks at the first instance of the library found (may be). So now it has to go at the right place to find it in /lib/x86_64-linux- gnu And it looks like now Banshee 2.4.1 is working fine :-). Then I just performed an Ubuntu Update (Gnome) since I am a subscriber of the ppa maintained by Chow Loong Jin (hyperair) and the last version 2.6.1 of Banshee is now working in my system. Thank you so much Mr. Chow Loong Jin (hyperair) for your time and insight. I will later try to compile and build a package on my system using the libpng16 libraries. Can you you please update the status of this bug to Fixed instead of Invalid ? Thanks. One day I hope Ubuntu will try to move on from libpng12 which is on old version receiving only security updates. One day thre will be no support at all for it. -- 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/1191195 Title: Cannot launch banshee: Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I have the exact same problem as another bug already reported bug which has been marked as invalid. I strongly disagree with the term Invalid. When attempting to launch any version [even superseded ones] of banshee [for Precise 12.04 amd64] from the Command Line I get: $ banshee [...] [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.DllNotFoundException: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 [...] [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.DllNotFoundException: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 The reported missing library libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 is part of package libgtk2.0-0 (I have as well libgtk2.0-0:i386 installed) and is located at the right place. i.e. $ locate libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.10 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware-installer/2.1.0/lib/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware-installer/2.1.0/lib/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.10 $ The logs from strace and MONO_LOG_LEVEL are similar the earlier reported bug $ strace -e trace=open banshee 2>&1 | grep libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0\" $ MONO_LOG_LEVEL=debug banshee What is amazing in the MONO_LOG_LEVEL is the reporting of fictuous libraries not found i.e. /usr/lib/mono/4.0/mscorlib.dll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Well have the .dll file (which is a Windows library extension type). I have never seen before a .dll.so (mixture of Windows and Linux library ?). Anyway I did have OpenGL installed and as well mesa (libgl1-mesa* packages). My Ubuntu 12.04 is properly functioning and obviously I have a lot of application installed. Of all the sound player installed only Banshee is unable to launch ... There is obviouly something wrong with this application. I am ready to provide further information upon request. In the mean time I will remove this application to avoid being annoyed by non functional updates from Ubuntu Updates required now a partial upgrade ...
