After starting bashee and inserting a CD banshee is searching for CD metadata but cannot find them. In the message (see below) banshee complains that networkmanager is not installed. I do not have networkmanager installed, but there is a working network connection. Reproducible: Always info by banshee: [Info 08:18:19.793] Running Banshee 1.4.1 [Info 08:18:20.815] Querying MusicBrainz for Disc Release (1KrvMI7V0ZfhV28xFIlxEYHLiPw-) [Warn 08:18:20.948] Cannot connect to NetworkManager - An available, working network connection will be assumed [Info 08:18:21.408] All services are started 1.441398s [Info 08:18:22.161] nereid Client Started [Warn 08:18:22.327] Caught an exception - org.freedesktop.Hal.NoSuchProperty: No property volume.is_mounted on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0_storage_platform_floppy (in `NDesk.DBus.Proxies') at IDeviceProxy.GetPropertyBoolean (System.String ) [0x00000] at Hal.Device.GetPropertyBoolean (System.String key) [0x00000] at Banshee.HalBackend.Volume.get_IsMounted () [0x00000] at Banshee.HalBackend.Volume.CheckVolumeMounted (Banshee.HalBackend.Volume volume) [0x00000] at Banshee.HalBackend.Volume.Resolve (Banshee.HalBackend.BlockDevice parent, Hal.Manager manager, Hal.Device device) [0x00000]
