Does the daemon start ?

Mr Green · 2006-11-18 14:41:29

/etc/rc.d/hal start stop or restart

gives me fail

running ipod gives me nothing ....

try running

hal-device | less

then page through to see if it detects your ipod

Mr Green · 2006-11-18 15:52:18

 hal-device | grep ipod
  portable_audio_player.type = 'ipod'  (string)

guess it does ....emmmm

need to check your config file then......

what app are you using?

What about your iPod has stopped working? I've been fighting with my ipod for a year now, it seems.

Mr Green · 2006-11-18 21:41:41

gktpod works with my ipod ... put music videos etc on it np

created a udev rule to make ipod node in /dev

then when I plug in ipod I use pmount /dev/ipod to get it to /media

Worked fine with banshee up to a couple of weeks ago then banshee does not see ipod anymore

Not tried in Amarok waaay too big app...

@Snarkout does your ipod show up in lsusb .....?
