Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libnjb5
File /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libnjb.rules simply misses an entry for this
device. As a result, when it is plugged in, the device file is created
with wrong ownership (root.root) and gnomad2 under normal user fails to
see the device (NOTE: it does not report "permission denied", it just
reports that it can't see it on the USB bus).
Apparently it is a big pain, as people recommend to compile the latests
versions of libmtp and gnomad from source and then run them with
superuser privileges, while it is a matter of 1 line in the rules file.
This entry seems to solve the problem:
# Creative Zen
SYSFS{idVendor}=="041e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4157", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660"
The device in question:
http://fi.europe.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=213&subcategory=214&product=16999
True for Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.10, however in 8.10 libmtp7.rules contain the
required line and changes in libnjb.rules are not needed for gnomad2
operation. In 7.10 it is however a problem.
