I saw this again with podsleuth 0.6.5-1. I upgraded a sid box for the first time in a couple of months, and after reboot, podsleuth and banshee stopped detecting the ipod with the exact same symptops. Restarting hal didn't help.
podsleuth upgraded from 0.6.4-2 to 0.6.5-1. I am somewhat wondering if the problem occurs when the iPod is plugged in when the system boots. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
