Re: [Banshee-List] MTP support for Banshee...

[Patrick van Staveren <trick vanstaveren us>]

Oops, my bad.  This is a bug/conflict between banshee and  
libgphoto2_port.  Duh, I totally forgot to put this in the howto :)

libgphoto2_port has a driver that supports usb mass storage, and it  
makes some HAL calls that screw with Banshee.Dap.  I don't know how to  
fix this other than disable the library.  Yes, this is a big oops :)

As long as you don't use libgphoto2 to access a mass storage camera,  
you'll be fine doing this (as root):

rm /usr/local/lib/libgphoto2_port/0.6.0/disk.*

Then try Banshee again :)

As long as it works, the debug output on the line that says "Device:  
vendor=xxxx product=xxxx" should return something other than -1 :)

My internet at my apartment is out, so I'm not on IRC much if at  
all...but I read the mailing list at work.  Let me know how it turns  
out!
