Is anyone using amarok 2.1.1-1 to manage an iPod on Fedora 11? If
so, how did you get amarok to recognize the iPod? I can't get
podsleuth to see my ipod when connected -- it is mounted as a hard
drive instead, and is not seen as a media player. There is a bug for
this but I'm not sure how to work around the issue so that amarok
works:

That bug indicates a problem with podsleuth, which is not used by
amarok for its iPod functions. Amarok uses libgpod instead.
If the iPod is not being mounted as a media device, that would seem to
be a more generic DeviceKit or HAL bug. What is it that tells you the
iPod is not recognized as a media device? I connected a 5th gen Video
iPod to an F-11 test box and it is mounted properly and recognized as
an iPod, based on the icon used to display the device. (I'm running
Gnome on that box, and it hasn't been updated in a few weeks, FWIW.)
Also, as far as I understand, Amarok 2 has significantly changed the
way media devices like iPod's are handled. That might be an
additional stumbling block you'll run into. I don't know much more
than that, as I don't use Amarok myself.

last I heard, Amarok 2 still did not have the ability to sync to devices
yet. That may have changed but I am not aware that it changed.

Craig and Todd,
Thanks for your help with this. This web page shows what appears on my
Fedora 11 Gnome desktop when I plug in my iPod Nano over USB. I have not
used the Nano in a very long time and it may not have the most recent
firmware on it. A friend of mine is wondering why banshee isn't "seeing"
her even older iPod; it behaves just like you see here when plugged in.

Todd...this is for Fedora 11 with x86_64 updates applied, as of this
afternoon. Uname -a shows:
Linux deafeng3.signtype.info 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 7
21:02:57 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Thanks
