Look for a hidden folder or config file in your home dir. Probably starts with a '.' (something like .banshee or something) Delete it. Might help.

i looked for it before i made this post, but there is none, i dont know if it's somewhere else because this is ubuntu x64


EDIT: i just noticed that banshee isnt even erased =/ i erased it from the ubuntu software center and using sudo aptitutde purge and it says the removal is complete but banshee is still in the sound and video tab, even after i restarted

I don't know what .tar.gz you found, but when installing from a tarball, the last step is usually something like "sudo make install". To uninstall, try "sudo make uninstall" from within the same folder that you extracted the tarball to.


If you want the latest version of Banshee, the easiest way is to add their repository to your Software Sources configuration. Go to the Third Party tab, and add "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/banshee-team/ppa/ubuntu karmic main" (without the quotes of course). Now when you use Synaptic (or apt-get or aptitude) it will install the latest version.

i think i erased that folder =/ cuz i was so mad xD , theres gotta be some files still on the system =/

ok so i just erased .config/banshee from my home folder and tried reinstalling banshee but still it keeps crashing and showing that error

To uninstall the manually-downloaded one, redownload the .tar.gz file, extract it into your home folder, then run "make uninstall" from the folder. That should remove the pieces from your system. You will probably want to reinstall it after that from within Synaptic.
