amarok on linux desktop with N900's internal storage
 

Has anyone else managed to get the N900 to work properly with amarok with the N900 (it works fine with Banshee ughhh:rolleyes:). 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 localisationStill So it is picked up just fine. Silly question did you mount it as user or as root?

Re: amarok on linux desktop with N900's internal storage
 

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.

Re: amarok on linux desktop with N900's internal storage
 

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 :confused:

Re: amarok on linux desktop with N900's internal storage
 

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.:)

Re: amarok on linux desktop with N900's internal storage
 

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.

Re: amarok on linux desktop with N900's internal storage
 

Hey have attached the out put in code format
I think the keypoint is that it says

I ran to get the debug info. What does yours say?

Re: amarok on linux desktop with N900's internal storage
 

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?

Re: amarok on linux desktop with N900's internal storage
 

Interesting discovery here!

I've got Kubuntu 11.04 and Amarok 2.4.0. My N900 has a 16GB SD card installed. Never could see the N900 as a mass storage device with Amarok. I just assumed that the two didn't play together.

But I fired up Amarok for grins and giggles the other day with my phone plugged in to USB and there it was! I figured I'd gotten an update that fixed a bug.

I finished what I was doing with the phone and first unmounted the SD card -- "Nokia N900" disappears from the Media Sources in Amarok. Except my music collection is in the internal storage, not the SD card! And the internal storage volume was still mounted.

Anyway, I found that I need to have the SD card mounted for Amarok to see the tracks on the phone, even they're in internal storage. I can mount the SD card (which appears in Device Notifier as "15.4 GiB Removable Media") first, or mount "N900" first. But either way, "Nokia N900" only appears in Media Sources after mounting the SD card. And the tracks only appear after both are mounted.

Other applications see the N900 internal storage USB mass storage when mounted: file managers, DigiKam, "ls" in a terminal, etc. I don't need to mount the SD card except for Amarok.

If anyone's interested I can grab the debug output sometime or play with the phone with and without the SD Card.

thanks robthebold,

I tried updating everything on my ubuntu computer still no dice.

@michaaa62
I tried looking on gparted but it didn't give me any other information than "fdisk -l" as the drive has no partitions. What is your fdisk output.


I have found that Clementine can see the N900 properly so am using that now. I am interest in what robthebrave or michaaa62 fdisk -l says.

Re: amarok on linux desktop with N900's internal storage
 

Here's what I get when I fdisk first the N900 internal storage (sdd) and then the N900 SD card (sde1):

Everything seems OK with both volumes, but Amarok still only finds the internal storage after mounting the SD card. And as I mentioned in an earlier post, there are no media tracks on SD.

Re: amarok on linux desktop with N900's internal storage
 

problem fixed on amarok 2.4.3!!!!
