The banshee window starts to open up then the application crashes with the following: [Info 00:15:34.970] Running Banshee 1.8.0: [Gentoo/banshee/1.8.0 (linux-gnu, i686) @ 2010-10-01 15:30:43 PDT] [Warn 00:15:36.139] Cannot connect to NetworkManager or Wicd - An available, working network connection will be assumed [Warn 00:15:37.886] Caught an exception - System.ApplicationException: No support GNOME Settings Daemon could be reached.

[Info 00:15:38.784] All services are started 2.913629 The program 'Banshee' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 275 error_code 8 request_code 2 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) I used the workaround discussed below of setting XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620461 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26048 Reproducible: Always
Forgot to say it's also not detecting my iphone (the reason I upgraded) even though Apple device Support is checked. But I will file another bug for that if I can't figure it out.
I have never been able to reproduce this and looking at no duplicates for this being found... are you still suffering this on an updated system?
(In reply to comment #2) > I have never been able to reproduce this and looking at no duplicates for this > being found... are you still suffering this on an updated system? > Yes. Everything is up-to-date except my kernel which I've left at 2.6.32.9. But I've started to use Clementine instead since I can't figure out why Banshee isn't detecting my iPhone, and at the moment I just use Banshee as a podcast catcher. Thanks for checking.
Please retry with 1.8.1 on a new created user account
(In reply to comment #4) > Please retry with 1.8.1 on a new created user account > I've moved on to 1.9.4 since 1.8.x doesn't support udev. But I have the same problem with 1.9.4 with a newly created user account. Adding the line above to the top of /usr/bin/banshee-1 fixes the problem.
This is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641515
This was solved by upstream in 2.0
