I've installed Musictracker plugin for Pidgin, but it doesn't seem to work.
It always sets the status to "Banshee is OFF". Well it's not.

I figured it might be the fact that i installed Banshee 1.2, which is
banshee-1 package, rather than banshee package from the Ubuntu repos.

I'm not sure if that's it or not; I had thought that Musictracker used the DBus interface to communicate with Banshee.

Is there a way to fix this? To "make" banshee-1 ==> banshee or something?

Regardless, you can do what you suggest with something like `sudo ln -s /usr/bin/banshee-1 /usr/local/bin/banshee`. A few caveats: I'm not sure offhand where banshee-1 installs (I'm not on my home system at the moment), and I'd suggest using /usr/local/bin so that you don't overwrite an existing installation of Banshee-0 (0.13.x). Lastly, as with all sudo commands, don't run without considering what you're doing: in this case, you'd be creating a link that's available to all users. If you want it just for your own username, you'd need to make sure your $PATH includes a user folder and then add the link there.

Alright, that's enough info for such a simple request. O:-)
