When I first got the ipod I followed an OLD HOWTO that had NOT been updated since April 19th 06. I didn't notice how out of date these instructions were until after I had followed them. Perhaps following those outdated instructions caused something to be installed which is boning me now? Anyway, those instructions got it so I could get it to work by adding the line '/dev/sdb2 /mnt/ipod vfat user,noauto,umask=000 0 0' in my fstab and gtkpod will see it. Only gtkpod. Neither Rhythmbox or Banshee see it. Problem is I hear about these Edgy users that just plug in a Nano and away they go, automount and the good stuff. Not me. Plug it in and I get no visual response. I asked around IRC and looked on the forums and there are quite a few Edgy users who it just works for.
This may or may not be related but my Edgy install was via the Update-manager. Those I talked to on IRC that had it automatically mount had fresh install Edgys. I have tried 2 machines with the same results. Both machines were updated with Update-manager. I have reinstalled hal and gnome-volume-manager. That should make no difference. But of course it might. :\
What the computer is telling me:
Dmesg does list it. Here is the last 20 lines of dmesg following a disconnect & reconnect of the nano:

I am running Edgy, 2.6.17-10-386 #2 Tue Dec 5 22:26:18 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux. It's up to date. Why won't it work like it does for everybody else in Edgy?
