Bugzilla Bug 153348

** Bug opened at the request of metalgod ** Also see #151893 **

When using the new Banshee 0.11.1 (and 0.11.2), I found that iPod support was
broken. 

I was using the following ebuilds:

[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/libipoddevice-0.5.1  0 kB 
[ebuild   R   ] dev-dotnet/ipod-sharp-0.6.2  USE="-doc" 0 kB [1] 
[ebuild   R   ] media-sound/banshee-0.11.1  USE="aac daap encode flac ipod mad
vorbis -debug -doc -njb" 0 kB 
[ebuild   R   ] media-plugins/banshee-official-plugins-0.11.1  0 kB 

I don't get any particular messages indicating failure on x86, so it's hard to
tell exactly what's going on.

please try to debug http://banshee-project.org/Debugging

The problem is it doesn't actually crash, so a GDB backtrace won't really be
useful. The problem is that nothing actually happens. Even running Banshee in
debug mode doesn't tell me anything on x86

Same here with banshee 0.11.1/0.11.2 on x86. The ipod command shows the ipod
just fine and a icon appears on my gnome desktop but nothing in banshee.

Could this be a dbus/hal problem ? - I am using the following ebuilds:

[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/libipoddevice-0.5.1  0 kB 
[ebuild   R   ] dev-dotnet/ipod-sharp-0.6.2  USE="-doc" 0 kB

vorbis -debug -doc -njb" 0 kB [1]

[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/hal-0.5.7-r3  USE="acpi crypt -debug -dmi -doc -pcmcia
(-selinux)" 1,492 kB 

i do not recive any messages in banshee when plugging in the ipod even with
dbug on.

I suspect our hal is broken but remember 0.11.x is the development series so it
can be broken too.

I ran the iPod troubleshooting tips on the Banshee website, and it showed that
HAL was reading my iPod just fine. Plus, my iPod is recognized as a media
device by gnome-volume-manager.

I believe it is something broken with Banshee or the associated iPod libs
rather than HAL. Is there any other ways we can test HAL to eliminate that as
the source of the problem?

I'm having the same problem with banshee on ~amd64.  Some info:

this should be fixed on 0.11.3(upstream worked on this for this release) that
is on portage.
Reopen if you still have problems.

Thanks
