Bug Description
In hardy does not work at all, with the official packages in the official repository.
In gutsy, I did the following:
I followed the instructions in
http://
and added the ppa repository: "deb http://
I did actually apt-get update and dist-upgrade before installing kde4-core package. And after that, some kde3 packages were upgraded. So far so good, but thet I tried to use amarok with my ipod and the following message popped up:
"No new media devices were found. If you feel this is an error, ensure that the DBUS and HAL daemons are running and KDE was built with support for them. You can test this by running "dcop kded mediamanager fullList" in a Konsole window"
And then, when I try to disconnect the ipod within amarok, it tries to eject the CD instead of disconnecting the ipod. Besides, when it does not autodetect the devices such as ipod or usb devices when I plug them in or when I push the "autodetect" button in the amarok settings.
I tried to erase the ppa repository and downgrade all the packages to the official ones, and everything went to work ok again.
I attach the output from "dcop kded mediamanager fullList"
