Description Joshua Jensen 2007-01-15 18:04:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

I've got udev and hal seeing the ipod, thanks to udev-095-17.fc6
(BZ # 220543).

dmesg now shows this:

SCSI subsystem initialized
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 2
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning

"lshal | grep -i ipod" now shows this:

 info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_Apple_iPod_000A2700192
DBC01'  (string)
  info.product = 'iPod'  (string)
  storage.serial = 'Apple_iPod_000A2700192DBC01'  (string)
  storage.model = 'iPod'  (string)
  block.storage_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_Apple_iPod
_000A2700192DBC01'  (string)
etc


udev and hal are happy, but Banshee still doesn't see the Nano. Bill Peck swears
it works... but it doesn't over here.  I've even tried libgpod-0.4.0-0.fc6 from
freshrpms as he suggested... no dice.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

FC6, all updates as of today
udev-095-17.fc6
banshee-0.10.12-4.fc6
libgpod-0.4.0-0.fc6 from freshrpms
Comment 1 Joshua Jensen 2007-01-15 18:08:32 UTC 
I noticed that libgpod-0.4.2 came out *today*... but can't get it to compile so
I can't tell if that would help me or not.  Perhaps we can get libgpod updated
to this version in Fedora Core 6
Comment 2 Todd Zullinger 2007-01-22 00:35:53 UTC 
Joshua, I don't think libgpod is required or used by banshee.  I believe your
trouble is more likely with libipoddevice.

Does your nano have an empty iPod_Control/Device/SysInfo file?  That and other
issues have been fixed in libipoddevice >= 0.5.  You can find 0.5.2 in rawhide.
 It might be worth trying to rebuild that to see if it helps banshee find your
ipod.  I don't know if banshee needs to be updated along with libipoddevice or not.

That said, libgpod-0.4.2 has been available in updates-testing since the 17th. 
It'll probably get pushed to updates very soon.
Comment 3 Joshua Jensen 2007-02-02 23:16:54 UTC 
Trying a binary package I built from libipoddevice-0.5.2-1.fc7.src.rpm
I'll let you know what we find.

No longer have access to iPod nanos :-(
