just a follow up: I don't see errors any longer, with libgpod 0.3.2-0ubuntu1 and gtkpod 0.99.2-1ubuntu2. the I/O-errors I had were caused by https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.15/+bug/37163
I'm marking this needinfo (if I have the permission to do so) so that someone can check wether powerpc is still affected. ** Changed in: libgpod (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Needs Info -- libgpod causes segfault on startup https://launchpad.net/bugs/40359 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
