I don’t know if it’s because I am running opensuse in VirtualBox or not but Banshee fails to start. well, it tries to. I get a busy cursor for a while then nothing.

If you start it from a terminal with: banshee

what info comes in the terminal

louis@linux-2ve8:~> banshee
If ‘banshee’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf banshee
louis@linux-2ve8:~> cnf banshee
banshee: command not found

what’s interesting is I looked in /usr/share/applications and Banshee is in there three times

Try

banshee-1

You can do this to try and find banshee. Do this as root (su -)


zypper in findutils-locate
updatedb
locate banshee

What does it return when you try to locate banshee?

hmmm, I uninstalled then reinstalled it and it launches now… looks like there was both the normal and a development version installed?

btw, is there a shoutcast plugin for banshee?

In 11.3 the name of the application is banshee-1 not banshee, so I would try
it with that name in the terminal.
