Linux Mint 12 GNOME Freeze / Hang Up Problem

Linux Mint is probably the distro that fixes all the mistakes that Ubuntu makes. It's built on the Ubuntu base while keeping a very light weight taste to it.

Recently the Lisa (12) release of Mint was released with various Desktop Environment including GNOME. I've installed it and it was pretty good to me until a very annoying error was being caused by GNOME. It hung up at very random time forcing me to reboot the system using a Hard Boot. Later on I found this fix that reportedly solved the problem to some extent but still has some issues with Banshee Media Player. Anyway here's the how.

First download this file: Link 1
Go to the directory where you downloaded this file and run this command

sudo patch /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/mediaplayer@linuxmint.com/extension.js mgse-mediaplayer.diff 

Then download this file: Link 2

sudo patch /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/mediaplayer@linuxmint.com/extension.js mgse-mediaplayer.diff 

NOTE: Both the files have the same name so my commands are also same. But if you don't replace the first file with the second when downloading then you might need to change the command as per your file's name.

This should fix the problem.
