After connection my iPod is correctly detected by podsleuth but it is not known. When trying to run the podlseuth command I just get this error : Found an iPod device, but it is not known by PodSleuth: Error: org.podsleuth.* properties are missing UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_6A19_666E Block Device: /dev/ipodmini Mount Point: /media/DAIJI'S IPO Cause: PodSleuth may not be installed properly, the HAL daemon may need to be restarted and/or the device needs to be refreshed. I've an iPod mini 2G 4GB grey. The iPod is correctly mounted by the gnome volume manager. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect the iPod 2. run `podsleuth` command in a terminal Actual Results: I juste get the following error message: Found an iPod device, but it is not known by PodSleuth: Error: org.podsleuth.* properties are missing UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_6A19_666E Block Device: /dev/ipodmini Mount Point: /media/DAIJI'S IPO Cause: PodSleuth may not be installed properly, the HAL daemon may need to be restarted and/or the device needs to be refreshed.
And you tried restarting HAL by "/etc/init.d/hald restart" , or possibly rebooted your machine? Files are installed into correct locations (I'm quite sure) so such properties should be available after (re)starting hal. Anyhow, if that doesn't help.. I suggest you open a upstream bug about this, nothing we can do about your unknown ipod.
The reboot of the computer doesn't seem to correct the problem. When I plug the iPod, an error pop-up appears and if I try to execute podsleuth I get this error message : Unhandled Exception: System.ApplicationException: Could not find org.freedesktop.Hal at Hal.Manager..ctor () [0x00000] at PodSleuth.HalFrontend.HalClient.Run (System.String[] args) [0x00000] at PodSleuth.HalFrontend.HalEntry.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] Therefore hal seems to crash when I plug the iPod.. How can I get more debug information to alleviate the debugging process ?

Could you try again and post /tmp/podsleuth-debug here?

Created attachment 166684 [details] podsleuth-0.6.3.ebuild I had the same error. In my case, it was because I have latest sg3_utils (in ~arch) which bumps SO version for libsgutils. Podsleuth currently tries to load libsgutils.so.1 and when it can't find it reports the iPod as non-supported. Just replacing 'libsgutils.so.1' in the sources with 'libsgutils.so' solved the problem for me. David, could you try this ebuilds, restart your system and then try again? Thanks.
podsleuth-0.6.3.ebuild works here to repair the bug.
For the record, the upstream bug about the bug I've got (the one about sg_utils) is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554185
Created attachment 175249 [details, diff] podsleuth-0.6.3-libsgutils.patch This bug hit me with 0.6.3 too. I made the changes suggested suggested in the Gnome bug and put them in to this patch and everything worked.
Patch in CVS, sorry for taking so long.
Bug has appeared again or has not been properly fixed. (~x86) Using sg3_utils 1.27 and banshee 1.42 I had to ln - sf /usr/lib/libsgutils.so.2 /usr/lib/libsgutils.so.1 as no libsgutils.so.1 was on my system. After doing the above everything worked fine.
