Banshee on Arch Linux?

[Jimleko211]

I downloaded banshee using pacman, and it tells me that it downloaded and installed it correctly. I try to launch it with the command "banshee", and it doesn't work. I then try "banshee-1" and I get the following error message:


Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Unable to open the session message bus.
--> System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null
parameter name: address

I checked the Arch Wiki but I couldn't find an entry on Banshee...any help?

Just a stab in the dark, but is dbus running?

HAL is running, and the arch wiki says that dbus starts with HAL.

Solved the problem. Thanks for making me look up the d-bus page!

The problem is solved, if that's what you meant. If not, look at the final section of the D-Bus page on the Arch Wiki. That's how I solved the problem.
