Sansa e200 series doesn't appear in Linux, does in Windows.
« on: June 30, 2009, 03:59:43 PM »
I've been using RockBox for a while now & absolutely adore it. However something happened when I upgraded to 3.3. If I am in LinuxMint 7.0 and plug in the Sansa it doesn't see anything but the USB icon appears on screen. If I reboot my laptop into Windows, the Sansa is there. Any ideas?

Its an ubuntu bug.  Check their bug tracker.  I'm not sure if they patched it yet.

It has been fixed upstream in libgphoto2 (where the real (and very silly) bug was) - I don't know if it has made it down into ubuntu yet.

The same thing happened to me. It is, in fact, a ubuntu bug. I fixed it by deleting the libgphoto2 file mentioned above.  /usr/share/hal/preprobe/10osvendor
Some people said this would only worked temporarily, but it has worked for months now for me.  It was a pain rebooting every time I wanted to use my sansa, so I hope this helps.

I noticed the behavior change after a HAL update a couple of weeks ago (I think. . . time is a bit fluid for me right now).  My Rockboxed players are getting properly auto-mounted in Ubuntu's Jaunty now.

Deleting the entire file is a bit extreme - you only need to comment out the entries in it for the sansa. Deleting it means you lose all the other features it provides.

That's true, but so far I haven't noticed any problems. For me it was more trouble when the sansa would not mount.
