[Bug 121203] Re: Ubuntu has stopped recognizing my ipod

[LuisMondesi]

I spent my best part of today trying to figure out why this happens... I
took my ipod to a friends system and he's using Hardy (32bit). The
system works fine and the ipod launches Amarok
(System->Preferences->Preferred Appliactions changed to launch Amarok
when the ipod is plugged in. I'm using Ubuntu and not Kubuntu by the
way...)

I brought the ipod back home (fresh install 64bit Hardy) and the ipod
doesn't mount automatically. Right-clicking on the icon under "Computer"
does not mount it either. However, if I install "pmount" and do:

pmount /dev/sdf3

The device mounts properly and Amarok recognizes it. So, I'm almost
certain this has something to do with gvfs*.

Ah, under the Sessions control panel there is a session that's supposed
to launch "gnome-volume-manager" like:

/usr/lib/gnome-volume-manager/gnome-volume-manager --sm-disable

However, this does not seem to be running, and running this by hand does
nothing. I'm not sure if or how gvfs works with gnome-volume-manager.
What I do know is that this is all getting to be too damn complicated.
Usually complex systems break more often (and harder) than simpler ones!
