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?

    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: dconf-editor indicators sound

  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

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

  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.
