Sansa Clip+ won't automount on 10.04

[jonthysell]

I just upgraded from 9.10 x64 to 10.04 x64 on my desktop. My Sansa Clip+ (USB mass storage mp3 player with SD card slot) stopped auto mounting. It worked fine in 9.10.

dmesg:

Any help please? I need to sync FLOSS Weekly!

I found the solution. It seems the Clip+ can be used in either MTP or MSC (mass storage) modes. When set to auto-detect, in 9.10 the MSC mode is used. In 10.04, MTP is used.

On the device I chose Settings -> System Settings -> USB Mode -> MSC , and now it mounts perfectly in 10.04.

I have an ebook reader that cannot be switched to a different mode. Is there a way to tell 10.04 to use MTP like 9.10 did?

Hi!

What type of reader?

I have a Sony w/no problems.

I solved the problem last night late. It was a firmware problem. I updated the firmware and it works again. (it was a Astak/Hanlin/BeBook reader)

Works right.. thanks so much
