Banshee is still in the sound menu after unistalling

Question

Using 11.04 I uninstalled Banshee from the Software Center, restarted the system but still it's visible in the sound menu. How can I get rid of it?

Answer 1

You could try to remove it and blacklist it in Dconf.

1. Install dconf-tools package
2. Execute dconf-editor from Terminal or using Alt+F2
3. In the left menu, select apps>indicators>sound
4. You should see banshee in interested-media-players. Remove it: set the key to [] (or keep just players you are interested in)
5. To make things future-proof, you can add Banshee to blacklisted-media-players

The result should look like this:

Answer 2

The values for applications that show up in the sound indicator are found in a dconf entry. To remove them:

• install dconf-tools
• open dconf-editor
• edit the entry "interested-media-players" and remove banshee

Answer 3

Check under .cache/indicators/ for a "sound" folder, delete it if it is there and log out/in.

Answer 4

Or, if you want some adventure, u can erase on synaptic ubuntu-desktop package. The only problem u might face with is that the sound ibcon will disappear too. It's a risc, but for me, as i use alsamixer for sound control, i don't need ubuntu-desktop. So, i do not know if it is your case though.
