Has anyone else managed to get the N900 to work properly with amarok with the N900 (it works fine with Banshee ughhh

). I have the problem on both kubuntu and opensuse

The SD card shows up in the local media on amarok but the internal storage of the device dosn't. Having looked at the output of amarok I think the problem is that the internal storage doesn't have a partition table so it confuses amarok. However, if anyone has it working and fdisk dosn't show a a partition table too that would be helpful to know that isn't my problem. I can then bug the amarok devs.

No problems here on Fedora with Amarok 2.4.1. I can locally browse the MyDocs partition and importing to the library also works just fine. Right now i do not know what package might provide the necessary functionality. A wild guess: is there anything like amarok-tools available?

BTW. Alter, was für ein geiles Avatar?!!!

Lieber Michaaa62

I tried an update to 2.4.1. , still not there!

I can mount the drive and access it (bash, dolpin ect) but amarok dosn't see it.

What is your fdisk output for the internal disk (on you fedora machine)?

Here is the output of fdisk -l in german localisation

Code:

Festplatte /dev/mapper/udisks-luks-uuid-268a79e6-286a-44a0-b39c-5370e6754da3-uid500 enthält keine gültige Partitionstabelle

Disk /dev/sdc: 22.2 GB, 22230827008 bytes
64 Köpfe, 32 Sektoren/Spur, 21200 Zylinder, zusammen 43419584 Sektoren
Einheiten = Sektoren von 1 × 512 = 512 Bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Still

Code:

df /dev/sdc
Dateisystem          1K‐Blöcke   Benutzt Verfügbar Ben% Eingehängt auf
/dev/sdc              21699152   9860240  11838912  46% /media/MyDocs

So it is picked up just fine. Silly question did you mount it as user or as root?

its mounted automagically as user by kde desktop mounter plasmoid!

Tried changing the lable of the partion to mydocs like yours but didn't help.

maybe its a kernel issue? I have attached at the bottom the important part from 'amarok -d'. And would be intrested what your output was.

Hm, this output looks okay, UmsHandler on my install is not as verbose as yours, it just reports 'Succeeded: "true"
Did you go through 'Settings' > 'Collection' Browse to your mounted folder and let it add it to your collection? I right now had the problem that one application on the N900 itself had access to the card and prvented proper access from amarok to the files it added to the library

Would that not mix my N900 collection and my desktop connection? Rather than let my sync between them.

I would like it to be displayed like the SD card does in this image.

Hm, i am bad!
Okay, now i see my error in assuming the N900SDCARD would be the built in card! So the output of post #5 is just for the external card. Do you have the full output from all devices: Local and USB? Please put it in code-tags or quote-tags for better readability.

I think the keypoint is that it says

Code:

amarok:       [MediaDeviceCache] Not able to convert to StorageAccess or not accessible, returning empty

I ran

Code:

 amarok -d

to get the debug info. What does yours say?

You are right with the error.
Did you try with the automount enabled for each and every device connected via USB?
Is the MyDocs partition mounted at the moment you started amarok? Is the filesystem of the MyDocs partition clean or may it be corrupted? Did you try to see the partition in gparted for more error messages?
