If anybody can offer any suggestions on getting this thing to work, I'd appreciate it. Please mention any other libraries you think I might need, I believe I have all the necessary ones but it can't hurt to check.
The zen players use mtp media transport protocol not usb mass storage.
Steve, transport protocol is common way for 2 devices to talk. While error can be in transport, it also can be that gnomad2 can't access device that should receive data. There was one such case that is solved, but to make sure I asked you to run gnomad2 as root user, which can be accomplished by: Press Alt-F2 , in Command field enter gnomad2, click on Options, check Run as different user, enter root as Username, enter root password as Password, click on Run. See if gnomad2 can find your device.
I never had luck using it in any distro. as far as I can tell the only software that works is what comes with the player for windows. had good luck with ipods, any rca lyra, archos is what I am using today.
Sincerely, if you ask a question and than don't follow given instructions, than that is a part of the problem. It is not a problem if you don't know what means 'run as root', problem is not to ask what that means, and insted of question just to slide into rant about bad luck with distros. When Creative find compelling reasons to write drivers and applications that will enable Linux users to use their devices than it will be as effortless a it is in Windows. Until such time road is sometimes bumpy, but reward at the end is for the most of Linux users worth to go ahead. They keep what is better in Linux and get their toys working. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
