NONE of the two models actually mount correctly on the system (using Nautilus). 

For the m240 model, it creates a new device mounted under /media/m240/, but
instead of mounting the FAT system as it really is (the root directory for the
mp3 player has two folders), it mounts directly the second folder only, it
displays some folders that I am not suppose to see (I can't see these folders
when I mount the mp3 player on Windows for example) and the folder that holds
all my mp3 songs are NOWHERE to be found! I can't drag-n-drop music on this DAP
using Linux.

For my e130 model, it creates two virtual devices on Nautilus: one called e130
and one called usb(2). When I click the e130 folder, I get an error message from
Nautilus telling me that it  can't mount it (I tried as root too, no dice). When
I click the usb(2) folder, THEN I am able to see all my mp3 songs in it, as I
should have when clicking on the /media/e130/ folder.

So, for the m240 case, I am not able to use the DAP at all. On the e130 case, I
am able to see my mp3 files, even if it didn't work as expected.

FYI, I am using udev 0.84 (hotplug is removed by my distro, Arch Linux). Here
are some more info about my setup:

Comment 1 Danny Kukawka 2006-03-09 09:11:17 UTC

I take this bugs ...

Comment 2 Danny Kukawka 2006-03-09 09:34:27 UTC

uups ... wrong bug

Comment 3 Danny Kukawka 2006-03-21 11:34:47 UTC

btw. You need to add the complete output of lshal for the devices. We need also 
the related parent usb-devices to add information about music player properties.

LSHAL

Is this all you need, or you need more? (the mp3 player is not connected atm
(out of battery atm), use the info from the first comment for the mp3 player).
If you need the HAL info with the mp3 player connected, let me know...

What usb additional info do you need? How do I get that?

Comment 5 James Livingston 2006-04-02 15:08:41 UTC

Ggnome bug 333845 (adding support for these to Rhythmbox) has some additional
information about these devices. The following .fdi fragments are for m2x0 devices:

<append key="portable_audio_player.audio_folders" type="strlist">Media/</append>
<append key="portable_audio_player.playlist_format"
type="strlist">audio/x-mpegurl</append>
<append key="portable_audio_player.playlist_path"
type="strlist">Media/%File</append>

Comment 6 Danny Kukawka 2006-04-13 06:51:52 UTC

I need the complete lshal output with the attached mp3-player.

Comment 9 Eugenia Loli-Queru 2006-04-17 11:59:59 UTC

I uploaded the two lshal for the two Sandisk devices. Anything else you need?
You said something about usb-devices, how do I get that?

Comment 10 David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2006-08-02 16:16:38 UTC

Does mounting the device manually change anything? 

It seems that HAL thinks that your mp3 player is unpartitioned and this might be
wrong... this is misdetection is somewhat fixed in HEAD but requires a 2.6.17 kernel
 http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal;a=commit;h=2c98ffc8dac7ee161042355790256d836e4028f9
 
Either way it sounds like it worth trying to mount in manually e.g.

 # mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/mountpoint

Thanks.

Close really old bug, no activity since more than 2 years. Feel free to reopen if the problem is still present in latest HAL release or git master.
