Well, I finally got around to working on this problem again. I installed the packages you suggested below. When I open kzenexplorer, it gives me a "Could not open" error. If I start from the shell, I get "usb_set_configuration: Operation not permitted". This leads me to believe that there is a permission issue, though I'm not sure where. I used sux and ran it again and got the following: ---- kbuildsycoca running... Reusing existing ksycoca kio (KService*): WARNING: The desktop entry file /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/njb.desktop has Type=Link instead of "Application" or "Service" kio (KService*): WARNING: Invalid Service : /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/njb.desktop kio (KService*): WARNING: The desktop entry file /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/njb.desktop has Type=Link instead of "Application" or "Service" kio (KService*): WARNING: Invalid Service : /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/njb.desktop kio (KService*): WARNING: The desktop entry file /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/njb.desktop has Type=Link instead of "Application" or "Service" kio (KService*): WARNING: Invalid Service : /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/njb.desktop KWrited - Listening on Device /dev/pts/3 compaq:/home/luggw1/downloads # Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x321d)!

After the third Xlib message the app had read some info from the Zen, but hung. Terminating the app yielded the Fatal IO error. Any ideas on what I need to do to get it to work? What protections need to be changed to allow the app access to the usb devices? Is it possible to get KDE to treat the Zen as a removable drive?

I just can't remember where I put it. Just kidding, sorry. :o)
I have a Creative Zen that in the past, when I plug it in to the USB port a message box would pop up asking if I wanted to open kfmclient to view the files. Today, nothing happened. I also looked at /media, where I've found the automounted USB devices before, but found nothing. There are two folders named usb-9205291:0:0:0p1 and usb-0002F0F72061420C:0:0:0p1, but they are both empty (and I'm not even sure what they're there for). I also looked at the USB Devices Monitor. It does show the Creative Zen attached and recognizes what it is.
So how do I get to the files on the device? How do I get the message box to pop up again?
I´m using SuSE 9.3 x86_64 with libnjb-2.2.4-0, kionjb-0.2.4-0 and kzenexplorer-0.6-0 and a Creative ZEN Micro Ver. 1.11.01 and I haven´t expierenced any problems so far.
But I never saw kfmclient popping upafter connecting my ZEN with my PC!
So, what are you using?
I know that there are would be problems with newer or updated versions of the firmware, because then the ZENs use MIT to communicate with OSes and
^^^ sorry must be "MTP", and this isn´t supported by libnjb
programs.
I just visited libnjb.sourceforge.net to get this information. Have you looked there already?
