Accessing Creative Zen Mp3 Player

Hi,

I installed opensuse 10.1 a few months ago and am still setling in. I can't get kzenexplorer to see my creative zen microphoto. I search for kiozen and gnomad in YaST, and no packages came up. I had to manually install libnjb; taglib is installed too (it seems kzenexplorer needs them).

When I start kzenexplorer, it complains 'no jukebox found.' From scouring the web I hear hints that one needs to be root (tried that, same problem) or that you need to make an fstab entry and have it automounted (haven't tried, more work).

So, what is the story?

As more users get these handy radiado-like gizmos, it would be good for Suse's future if their usage were more seamless.

Thanks for the help,
David

I use the libnjb from Packman and had to do the following in Su 10.0:

"Go to /etc/fstab and change the usbfs line - change noauto for devmode=0666.

Then go to /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules, go to almost the final and found the comment "# libusb device access (mount usbfs or usbdev nodes)" and in the next line change RUN+="/bin/mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb" for RUN+="/bin/mount -a -t usbfs"
"

I always use kiozen, kzenexplorer is simply not that good and seems rather buggy.
