I just figured something out. After it syncs, if you try it sink something that can't sync, and it has an error, the ghost task stops. I was using my iPod Touch for my tests.
Steps to repeat: Sync iPod. After it is synchronized, there should be that silly ghost process. Drag a video from your library onto the iPod in the left panel, to sick it. (Banshee doesn't seem to be able to sync videos very well, so in my case any old MPEG4 video works.) The sync should fail with an error, and the ghost process disappears. See my attached video for an example. ** Attachment added: "desktop.ogv" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/864791/+attachment/2523763/+files/desktop.ogv -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864791 Title: After syncing iPod, description-less phantom operation keeps animating progress bar and prevents closing Banshee To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/864791/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
