Re: [Banshee-List] "Could not read add-in description" error on startup

[Vincent Lainé <phenixdotnet gmail com>]

Hello.

This is a Mono.Addins bug. Try to delete addins database folder (I think this is in ~/.config/banshee/addin-db-001 but I haven't tested it).

hey there,

I just installed Banshee 1.5.1-1~hyper1~jaunty using the repos
(http://ppa.launchpad.net/banshee-team/ppa/ubuntu).
Now when I try to start Banshee I get a fatal error with the description
attached below.

I previously used Banshee 1.4.3 which I had compiled from source. I removed
it before installing the new version.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, Kernel 2.6.28-15.


Do you have any idea what might be the problem?
I'm grateful for any help.
cheers!
