Ubuntu – Banshee won’t connect to Amazon mp3 store

banshee

Banshee has stopped connecting to the amazon mp3 store. It used to work fine but now I get the following error message from Banshee:

Unable to load page
Cannot resolve proxy hostname ()

This problem occurred while loading the URL https://one.ubuntu.com/music/store/amz/UK/home/

I'm running Banshee 2.4.1 and 12.04LTS. My internet connection is fine (I'm using it to post this). Amazon say there's nothing wrong with their server – it seems to be me…Any ideas?

Open a terminal and run gsettings reset-recursively org.gnome.system.proxy if are you not using a proxy to connect to the web.

If you do need to use a proxy, it appears there is an issue with one of the proxy settings. Fix it and everything should work again.
