Re: [Banshee-List] Unable to start banshee 1.8.1

[Felipe Castillo <fcastillousfq gmail com>]

I just had exactly the same problem today using Banshee 1.9.3 from the unstable repository for Ubuntu. The CPU was at 100% and it was using so much memory that my computer was completely unresponsive, after closing Banshee, it wouldn't open for anything.
I got it open again by deleting the banshee-1 folders inside .config and .cache. I hope that helps... BTW, I'm using Ubuntu 10.10
I just thought it was just a weird behaviour on the unstable repository, but apparently it's in old versions too
