mp3 player does not pop up when plugged in

[nix4me]

Ubuntu 8.04 will not pop up a file browser when I plug it in. Any ideas why? Older version of Ubuntu worked fine along with Fedora.

I get nothing when I plug it in and there it is not mounted at all.

plug it in open a terminal and type in:

lsusb

and

sudo fdisk -l

and paste the output of both please.

[nix4me]

After issuing lsusb, the drive is mounted and rythmbox opens.

Why is this not happening on plugin?

[abhiroopb]

Hmmm I don't think lsusb has anything to do with it. lsusb is just to see what usb devices are plugged in. Perhaps you just had to restart the computer or something.

[nix4me]

Nah, never restarted. The device is not being detected when plugged in. The lsusb command shows no device. Then a second later, the mount happens and rythmbox starts. Another lsusb command shows the device.

1st "lsusb"

Seems like a bug to me. I filed one on launchpad.

maybe it just takes time? try restarting the computer and waiting a few seconds after plugging it in...what mp3 player is it?
