#1

Well here is another issue I have found, my sansa clip no longer works with openSUSE 11.2.
Worked fine with 11.1 and Ubuntu but not 11.2

#2

“no longer works”… as in?

#3

As in not recognized, its not coming up in my install.
usually it comes up as a vfat drive.

#4

maybe a driver is missing or disabled in the kernel? how did it got recognized in the past? as a normal disk?

#5

Yeh it was seen as a FAT drive, as it is a FAT drive.
Its a small 1GB device so I didnt opt to reformat it to NTFS

#6

I assume it’s USB based? if so, what happens when you plug it in? both dmesg and lsusb should show something

#7

Yes its a USB.
I will plug it in here, and give you a report back.

Edit: okay that was frikkin weird, now it works.
I have no idea what happened, one minute it didnt work and the next its working.
But I wont mark this as solved yet just in case.
I plan to reboot here in a few minutes
