Public bug reported: 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 When attempting to launch any version [even superseded ones] of banshee [for Precise 12.04 amd64] from the Command Line I get: $ banshee [...]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 ... ** Affects: banshee (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Banshee 2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise2 Fatal Error.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1191195/+attachment/3703829/+files/Banshee%202.4.1-3ubuntu1%7Eprecise2%20Fatal%20Error.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1191195 Title: Cannot launch banshee: Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/1191195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
