I think this is because libmtp9 that's available to us on Ubuntu 11.10 is an old version. I've found this forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=881293 which indicates that upgrading libmtp to a newer version fixes the problem. I haven't been able to found upgraded packages for libmtp3 nor have I been able to build my own package from source. 'apt-get build-dep libmtp' does apparently not satisfy all build-dependencies for the package. configure does not detect anything wrong. Build just fails with
../src/.libs/libmtp.so: undefined reference to `get_usb_device_timeout' ../src/.libs/libmtp.so: undefined reference to `LIBMTP_Detect_Raw_Devices' ../src/.libs/libmtp.so: undefined reference to `get_playlist_extension' ../src/.libs/libmtp.so: undefined reference to `ptp_usb_event_wait' ../src/.libs/libmtp.so: undefined reference to `set_usb_device_timeout' ../src/.libs/libmtp.so: undefined reference to `guess_usb_speed' ../src/.libs/libmtp.so: undefined reference to `configure_usb_device' ../src/.libs/libmtp.so: undefined reference to `dump_usbinfo' ../src/.libs/libmtp.so: undefined reference to `close_device' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I guess we'll just have to upgrade to 12.04 when it is released. Nothing else to do, really. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to banshee in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927914 Title: Banshee not detecting Sandisk Sansa Clip Zip using MTP Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Banshee does not detect my Sandisk Sansa Clip Zip MP3 Player using the MTP protocol on Ubuntu 11.10. I am using v2.2.1 of Banshee. As with Mass Storage mode, I would expect the device to appear in Banshee left-hand pane, but it doesn't. mtp-detect does detect the MP3 player so the MP3 player works. gMTP can detect and browse the device, as can Amarok.
