rockbox sansa clip+ not detected

trixrabbit · 2013-06-01 22:57:52

Hi, I purchased a sansa clip+ with a 32gb micro sdhc. I just flashed rockbox on it with the rbutil available in AUR and it worked properly, I disconected my clip and the firmware updated succesfully.
Before doing that, I could see my clip and my sdhc mounted in thunar but now whenever I connect my clip I see a usb cable on my clip (probably meaning it's connected) but I can't see it in thunar.

I use deadbeef to listen to music, not sure if there is a simple solution to had music on the device. thank you.

Is that all you did before posting here, just plug it in? Thunar may not see it, but does the computer see it? I think you've been around here long enough to know that you have to do a better job than this with first post information.

Well usually when I plug something it mount it automatically and it did before I flashed it with rockbox, for my old ipod I followed a guide and create an ipod file in /mnt but for this sansa clip I'm honestly not too sure what to do..
I run the command df and I can't see the device

re-edit : lsusb sees it
I tried mounting with : sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt/usb but it just loads forever...

anyone? I tried to flash back my sansa clip with the rbutil tool but it can't detect it and when I mount manually it doesn't work

What does "doesn't work" mean? When you try to mount it manually with the command you gave in the previous post, had you already created /mnt/usb?

If you boot with the original firmware while you have it connected (by keeping the home button pressed and then pressing the power button), does it show up?
If it does, try to re-flash it in case something went wrong the first time.

It's weird though, I also purchased the same mp3 player recently, and when I installed Rockbox everything was ok.

mount: special device /dev/sdb does not exist
that's the error I get and Yes I created /mnt/usb before.

When i boot the device in msc mode I get this with lsusb, otherwise it doesn't show up.
