Restore Banshee database

After a “database disk image is malformed" error, you can try to restore it :

$ cd ~/.config/banshee-1
$ sqlite3 banshee.db ".dump" > dump
$ mv banshee.db banshee.db.backup
$ cat dump | sqlite3 banshee.db

If it doesn’t work, an other solution is to delete your banshee settings (and btw, the sqlite database). Of course, you’ll lost all your ratings and playlists :

>> mv ~/.config/banshee-1 ~/.config/banshee-1.bak
> rm -rf ~/.cache/.banshee-1
