I am trying to get a new Creative Zen to work in Slackware 12.0. I hav installed gnomad but this does not appear to see it. lsusb shows that there is a craetive device at one of the usb ports but the computer does not appear to do anything when the player is plugged in.
Googling shows that I need libnjp and libmtp but as I understand it these should be in the Slackware 12 installation. What else can I do to get this working?
I had this trouble on a previous motherboard. Try running gnomad as root, not recommended but worked for me, and see if that works, never did manage to get round it but changed motherboards recently and gnomad works ok.
Have you looked at /usr/doc/libmtp-0.2.6.1/README under this heading "Devices does not work - last resort:" ?
I have been connecting to a Sansa Clip, which I can do in MCS mode, but so far have not been able to get MTP to work.
All the udev stuff for MTP appears to be OK, I even saw a connection via MTP once in the output of lsusb, but I have not tried disabling usb-storage to see if MTP will work.
