Hi,

I am using gPodder as my podcast downloader client. I like it but it has several flaws I do not understand.

First of all, it keeps remounting /media/mmc2 read-only each times it starts. I have added /media/mmc2 in /etc/fstab to mount /media/mmc2 read/write, it works but if I am starting gPodder, /media/mmc2 becomes read-only. Why the heck ?

My current solution is to write a wrapper script which does a mount -o remount,rw /media/mmc2 but it is ugly and I'd rather want to know why I have to that.

Second thing, where is stored the configuration file ? I have told several times gPodder (in the advanced configuration editor) to put downloaded files into /media/mmc1 (the external sd card) but it keeps going to put them in /media/mmc2 ! Grrr ...

dpkg -L gpodder reveals there is a config.py file which I have tried to modify but I dunno how to recreate the pyo files to force gpodded to use them. I deleted the pyo files thinking it would be enough to start but still it puts files in /media/mmc2.

So how should I configure/modify gpodder in the end ?

Thank you.

Are you running the latest version of gPodder available via Maemo Extras?

gPodder does not do any mounting/remounting/unmounting, so your mount-related problems might be something unrelated to gPodder. Maybe dmesg gives some output that your card has problems and linux therefore remounts it read-only?

gPodder stores its configuration files in /media/mmc2/gpodder/gpodder.conf. You can edit it there. Currently, /media/mmc2/gpodder/ is the hardcoded path, but this might change in the future.

You need to fsck the drive if it keeps remounting read-only.
