Banshee Not Loading

[Robtygart]

When I try to launch Banshee the window opens but nothing loads its just white.

Any known bugs for Banshee with KDE?

I am going to reinstall it.

[vinnywright]

let me reboot to the 12.04 install and see what happens when I install it !!

How I found the problem

I opened banshee in the terminal and here is the output I got.

LOL ......obviously from the -s install output

LOL ......obviously from the -s install output

Generally I consult apt-cache for stuff like that. You can instruct the command to display all dependencies of a package, or only those dependences that you've already installed. More useful, I think, is to display the dependencies that I don't have installed. I've solved this by adding the following line to ~/.bash_aliases:

neededfor () { diff <(apt-cache depends $*) <(apt-cache depends --installed $*) ;}

Run it:

neededfor [i]package[/i]

This feeds the output of apt-cache depends package and the output of apt-cache depends --installed package into diff. The resulting output is the difference between these two lists, which is a list of dependencies not currently installed.

O now that is nice .......my CLI fu is not as strong as yours master ......but I will be adding it to the ~/.bash_aliases: as soon as I finish this foot long stake and cheese ,,,,,,

and thank you for it
