Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee-by-default in Ubuntu talk - happening now

With everything enabled, I get this on sudo apt-get build-dep banshee:

Reading package lists... Done

Dear Rick,

You use Jaunty, right? There, the package's name is
banshee. But you also have to enable (i.e. tick) "source code" and
apt-get update in package sources if you haven't done so yet.

Then:

sudo apt-get build-dep banshee

Gregg,

sudo apt-get build-dep banshee-1 returns "E: Unable to find a source
package for banshee-1".

Any ideas?

Thanks.

The latest master for version 1.50 is available at&nbsp;

There are excellent installation instructions there too, so you
shouldn't have any trouble with it. As I said before, I would urge
you to install it and check it out thoroughly before passing
judgment on the product. It is a huge leap forward from version
1.43. -Gregg

  While I appreciate that we all have differing opinions and that
free speech
is a valuable commodity, I, too have the right to it.  The above
opinion is
far from FUD, but the truth.  I have installed Banshee multiple
times (and reinstalled more than that) on different systems, on
different OS versions,
etc., and the issues that I am pointing out (that I have previously
pointed
out here, never getting a straight answer or any useful reply) are
MY experience and obviously the experience of others, noted by
reading the posts here.  "File a bug" is hardly a helpful response
to a question. 
The latest version of Banshee that I see available is 1.4.3...this
version has been out for some time and did nothing to solve any of
the aforementioned problems.  This version does NOT appropriately
support the G1
as advertised (a fact echoed by many), and the cover art management
is abysmal.  You can tell me I'm wrong, but I'm stating that this
is MY experience with this package.  This is also the experience
that many others
have noted. 
I'm sorry if some people think that the truth (and the request for
intelligent input and responses) is FUD.  I have asked here many
times for input on these issues and have received responses similar
to the these. This is sad.  A logical response offering some
assistance or possibly asking
further questions IS appropriate.  Simply telling someone to "file
a bug" is
not helpful or appropriate.  Not every user wants to or has time to
file bugs.  These are simple questions and if someone thinks that I
and others are either stupid or lying about G1, iPod and cover art
support, then feel free to point me (and the many others here who
have asked about this) in some positive direction.

Before passing such harsh and (in my opinion) false judgment, I
would ask you to install the latest master for version 1.5. A huge
number of issues from version 1.43 have been resolved, and it works
wonderfully. I think that it is definitely the BEST choice for a
default player for future releases of Ubuntu. Rhythmbox is clunky,
awkward, and never going to get any better, whereas Banshee is
easy, sexy, has great Last.fm support, and is continually
evolving... Cheers, Gregg

  Let's hope that this doesn't happen.  Banshee is a completely
unusable mess
at this point and with release dates pushed back further and
further and no
fixes for advertised yet broken functionality nowhere on the
horizon, this would be a huge mistake.  Rhythmbox may not be sexy,
but it's rock solid.

Ubuntu is holding its Developer Summit, and having a session 
right *now* (just about to start) about whether to make Banshee the
default media application.  You can listen in at
http://icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/room3.ogg.m3u 
There may be a Gobby document created at http://gobby.ubuntu.com/
at some point.  You can probably chat on IRC about it on freenode,
#ubuntu-devel-summit

The Blueprint document that originated this session is here:

Cheers!
