[opensuse] cannot mount iPod in openSUSE10.2
I have been trying to figure out why I can no longer mount an iPod Nano on my openSUSE 10.2 install. Previously the iPod worked perfectly... so well in fact that my partner preferred to connect her iPod to my machine and use Amarok over iTunes on her laptop running XP. Now, it is not picked up at all when we plug it into the USB port. lsusb shows nothing new connected. All other permanently connected USB devices work fine (Cherry keyboard, Logitech mouse, Logitech joystick, Logitech headset). Any other new USB device I connect works as well (USB drive, card reader, Nokia N800). It is only the iPod that does nothing. Another thread on this mailing list that I was reading this morning made me wonder if a change I made to the fstab for the USB would affect the iPod this way. To enable USB in VirtualBox I changed the USB line from: =========== usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 =========== to: =========== usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1001,devmode=664 0 0 =========== Does anyone here know iPods enough to know if this small change would prevent the iPod from being detected when it it plugged into the USB port?

Perhaps. I forgot to mention that the devgid should match the vboxusers group gid. Sorry if this caused you any problems, I just checked my fstab.

C.
try changing it back to the original setting. I've added an extra line to my fstab using the device id from hwinfo --usb, for my ipod but I'm running 10.3 which I believe is a bit different to 10.2.
