Issue:
I am currently using Ubuntu 9.10 with a 5th generation Ipod 60 GB Black video classic.
In general, it seems that Ubuntu can always detect the usb hd and displays it on my desktop.
However, some applications seem to detect the ipod (e.g. Rythymbox and gtkpod do but Banshee does not) and some don't. I narrowed down the banshee issue to a bug that requires Nautilus to be restarted (although it would be nice to not have to do this).
Also, Whenever I sync between these applications, it appears that everything is working fine during the sync but when I disconnect the ipod and browse, all of the songs seem to be there but the playlists are not. If I reconnect the ipod, in banshee specifically it sees the space usage as "other".
What I am looking for is some way to at least understand what is and is not working OR directions to some where that can help me learn what's going on.
I have already tried:
-IRC. Either the channel is too general (e.g. #ubuntu) or no one is ever one (e.g. #banshee)
-The web. Most of what I've found is too specific to one particular bug or too general.
Any thoughts?
