I have the same problem; I upgraded to Hardy today to get the fix for smart playlists in banshee only to find that it no longer recognizes my iPod. In fact, my iPod's database had been corrupted by gtkpod on gutsy, and gutsy banshee is the one who repaired it! So I don't see any reason why hardy's banshee wouldn't recognize the database.
Here's my startup output: Debug: [3/26/2008 7:37:19 AM] (Loading audio profiles) - /usr/share/banshee/audio-profiles Debug: [3/26/2008 7:37:19 AM] (Default player engine) - GStreamer 0.10 Debug: [3/26/2008 7:37:19 AM] (Audio CD Core Initialized) - Debug: [3/26/2008 7:37:19 AM] (Testing device for DAP support) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_AAA4_7BC4 System.Exception: org.freedesktop.Hal.NoSuchProperty: No property org.podsleuth.ipod.serial_number on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_AAA4_7BC4 at IDeviceProxy.GetPropertyString (System.String ) [0x00000] at Hal.Device.GetPropertyString (System.String key) [0x00000] at IPod.HalClient.HalDevice+HalProductionInfo..ctor (Hal.Volume volume) [0x00000] at IPod.HalClient.HalDevice..ctor (Hal.Volume volume) [0x00000] at Banshee.Dap.Ipod.IpodDap.LoadIpod () [0x00000] Debug: [3/26/2008 7:37:19 AM] (DAP has not been added) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_AAA4_7BC4 Debug: [3/26/2008 7:37:19 AM] (Testing device for DAP support) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_20327e38_7e95_43cb_a86b_3b2d926fe5f0 Debug: [3/26/2008 7:37:19 AM] (DAP has not been added) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_20327e38_7e95_43cb_a86b_3b2d926fe5f0 Debug: [3/26/2008 7:37:19 AM] (Testing device for DAP support) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_502fd170_a9de_4f08_a525_f256ad2d11f0 Debug: [3/26/2008 7:37:19 AM] (DAP has not been added) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_502fd170_a9de_4f08_a525_f256ad2d11f0 Debug: [3/26/2008 7:37:19 AM] (Testing device for DAP support) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_Apple_iPod_000A27001595B412_0_0 Debug: [3/26/2008 7:37:19 AM] (DAP has not been added) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_Apple_iPod_000A27001595B412_0_0 Debug: [3/26/2008 7:37:20 AM] (Enabled multimedia keys support) - Using org.gnome.SettingsDaemon -- ipod doesn't appear in banshee https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139226 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
