Comment 8 for bug 751575

OK, one day later the problem is back. There are only two real changes I made to my Ubuntu 11.04 system since yesterday when I deleted banshee's media db and re-imported media which caused it to work properly again.

Since yesterday I set up the Empathy Internet Messaging widget that is I guess part of Unity, and I installed mysql, mysql-client and mysql-workbench. I don't think any of those things are likely to have caused a sound problem. Also I have logged out and shut down the system since then, then came back today and booted up. See additional idea about mounted volumes below.

Sound is working on my system in other ways. Chat notifications make a beep. Totem Movie Player 2.32.0 works properly (its "about" window shows "using GStreamer 0.10.32".

But I still get the same "GStreamer resource error: NotFound" errors if I run banshee from terminal and then try to play songs from my media library or a playlist.

I think I found a clue to this. When I right click on any of my tracks and choose "Open Containing Folder" an error dialog pops up saying "The folder could not be found. Please check that the track's location is accessible by the system."

All of my tracks were imported from an NTFS-formatted internal hard drive that I had on this computer when it was a single-boot Windows 7 system. It is now a dual-boot with Ubuntu, and Ubuntu has become my primary OS. So I went and imported all of my old iTunes folder from one of the old Windows drives into Banshee. That part is no problem, it imports nearly six thousand tracks and plays them correctly.

But it looks like maybe sometimes when I start the system and open Banshee it can't find my files because the source drive is not mounted or something. What do I have to do to keep that from going wrong?

Thanks!
