Should be "BUS=="usb" Also, MODE="0660" Note that you:- ;only need to supply enough rules to match the device (minimum of 2 from memory) I'd suggest you use BUS and ATTRS{serial}. ;you haven't mentioned what you want to "do" with the device i.e. mount it somewhere - or "who" should do that. Please let me know what you want to do (I don't know anything about gtkpod requirements) Example only - this will work - but should be modified to suit your requirement (please read further down):- ATTRS{serial}=="ea1f2a0800d76f91f9bc0d50d6620151d249e6a9", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Apple Inc.", ATTRS{product}=="iPod", KERNEL=="sd?1", SYMLINK+="ipod", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" > > I then tried connecting the device again.

Not supplying dense walls of text describing your circumstances? ;) You mention two devices - in which case I'd:- ;suggest you turn on udev debugging (as root "udevadm control --log-priority=debug") ;*post* the output of "udevadm info"[*1] for both IPod devices) to paste.debian.net and include a link in your reply.

I'm happy to do so later today (time providing) when you've posted the requested information (again, apologies - I don't own those devices). > > Marc > > Ref:- (a guide I've previously posted to this list) https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2013/12/msg01117.html Kind regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
