Full Text Bug Listing

When using the new Banshee 0.11.1, 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 



When starting Banshee, and plugging in the iPod:

When I downgraded just banshee to 0.11.0, it worked fine again.

please add your emerge --info

This is my PPC box. I didn't get the same error message on my x86 box, but
still iPod support didn't work.

Tested the new Banshee 0.11.2, by just renaming the ebuilds. Still fails

i need you to test libipoddevice-0.5.0-r1. The strange thing is that looks like
dbus and hal are not working. Please leave this bug report open only for ppc
and open a new one for x86.

Ok, so I emerged libipoddevice-0.5.0-r1, and then reemerged banshee on my PPC
box, but I get the same thing. :(

Any other ideas?

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

on this too

ok i'll get this one to upstream.

It seems to be an upstream bug for sure. I have the same problem and I tried
the iPod troubleshooting testcases that they have on their site, and all of
them worked for me. It's hard to capture any output at all since it's not
really an error that's being spit out. I'll post my emerge --info in a little
bit.

i added yourself to the upstream bug i submited. Please give them as much
information as you can.

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
