In Fedora 11 system no longer "knows" ipod is an ipod

DJOtaku · 08-13-2009, 03:51 PM

Ever since upgrading my system no longer knows my iPod shuffle is an iPod. It just loads it up as a removable media device. I know this from the icon, from the fact that it opens up the folders like when I load in removable media, and because Rhythmbox, gPodder, and Amarok (heard from someone else) doesn't know that it's there.

Is there something somewhere I need to toggle to get the system to realize it's an iPod again?

I don't know, when I had one my system never registered it as an ipod, I just had to mount it to /mnt/ipod and I used gtkpod to transfer files. Really the only way that I remember the system knowing it's an ipod is from the song database...

I am doing that at the moment, but I'd like to take advantage of integration with other programs rather than have to load up yet another, gtkpod.

OK. A bit of work here. First of all, there's a bug about this in Fedora. Looks like it concerns podslueth, not sure if that only affects Banshee or not. My iPod is actually mounting to /mnt/1upmushroom (the name of my device). I wonder if I just need to tell hal or w/e that that's my ipod?

Here's the interesting thing about the fact that Fedora doesn't "know" it's an iPod.

Code:

sdd: detected capacity change from 1015021568 to 0
usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 3
usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=1301
usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-2: Product: iPod
usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Apple

usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices

SELinux: initialized (dev sdd, type vfat), uses genfs_contexts

It says "usb 1-2: Product: iPod". Still, I wonder if it has soemthing to do with the mount point. Anyone who has any ideas, please chime in.

make it mount to /mnt/ipod if I remember correctly that's where most ipod programs look
