New Creative Zen is not recognized by libnjb.rules

[Alex Yurchenko]

Binary package hint: libnjb5

File /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libnjb.rules simply misses an entry for this device. As a result, when it is plugged in, the device file is created with wrong ownership (root.root) and gnomad2 under normal user fails to see the device (NOTE: it does not report "permission denied", it just reports that it can't see it on the USB bus).

Apparently it is a big pain, as people recommend to compile the latests versions of libmtp and gnomad from source and then run them with superuser privileges, while it is a matter of 1 line in the rules file.

This entry seems to solve the problem:
# Creative Zen
SYSFS{idVendor}=="041e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4157", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660"

The device in question:
http://fi.europe.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=213&subcategory=214&product=16999

True for Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.10, however in 8.10 libmtp7.rules contain the required line and changes in libnjb.rules are not needed for gnomad2 operation. In 7.10 it is however a problem.

Can you please retry with a newer Ubuntu version? Thank you for telling!
