Good point, I didn't check the output too closely. 15673 is the bash shell I started banshee from:
~/Downloads john@W530$ ps -ef|grep 15673 john 4724 4624 0 18:59 pts/21 00:00:00 grep --color=auto 15673 john 15673 10712 0 Jul09 pts/7 00:00:00 bash john 25995 15673 4 13:00 pts/7 00:14:35 [banshee] <defunct> However banshee is not responding to Ctrl-C in the bash terminal nor to kills so what to do? ~/Downloads john@W530$ kill -9 25995 ~/Downloads john@W530$ kill -15 25995 ~/Downloads john@W530$ kill 25995 ~/Downloads john@W530$ ps -ef|grep 15673 john 4780 4624 0 19:00 pts/21 00:00:00 grep --color=auto 15673 john 15673 10712 0 Jul09 pts/7 00:00:00 bash john 25995 15673 4 13:00 pts/7 00:14:35 [banshee] <defunct> -- 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/1196828 Title: Cannot restart banshee after crash Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: If banshee crashes the sound/audio system menu still shows it as available but nothing happens if I click on it. With ps I can see a defunct banshee process that cannot be removed. If I try to run banshee from the command line nothing happens. Restarting gdm and/or unity also has no effect. As far as I can tell there is now no way to start banshee short of rebooting which is annoying. Does anyone know how I can start banshee without closing everything down and rebooting? Perhaps there is some part of Ubuntu that controls the sound menu and I can restart that? I was hoping it was part of gdm or unity but restarting them didn't help. Description: Ubuntu 13.04 Release: 13.04 but I have seen the same behaviour in 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/1196828/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
