In an upstream bug for Banshee https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620461 there's a workaround to avoid the crash at startup by (re)moving the banshee notification indicator
sudo mv /usr/lib/banshee-1/Extensions/Banshee.Notification* ~/ This workaround makes it possible to play audio (music) but Banshee still crashes for videos. Same reason: Banshee.exe crashed with signal 5 in _XError() ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #620461 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620461 -- Banshee crashes with RGBA enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585160 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
