I thought I'd just tell you about the workaround I'm now using until the real fix.
Using a workaround previously discussed, I have put a line entry in my fstab: /dev/sdb1 /media/disk vfat user,noauto 0 0 I created a folder: sudo mkdir /media/disk sudo chmod 777 /media/disk Then I have a very simple script I run before I connect the player: -- start -- #!/bin/bash sudo killall hald echo connect mp3 player read -p "Press enter to continue" ls -lah /dev/disk/by-label read -p "Press enter to mount drive" mount /media/disk -- end -- The device that the player appears as is likely to be different on a different system so a change may be needed there. Then I need to restart hald using 'sudo hald' when I've finished. Note things like battery level detection dont work while hald isnt running. Oh and reload when you've finished - not good to have hald not running. Very clunky but it does give me usb storage access to the player so I can load videos etc. -- Sony Walkman NWZ-S618F in Ubuntu 9.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
