sansa e260 and ubuntu 10.04
I have a sansa e260 music player. It was always recognised under ubuntu 8.04 but since ubuntu 9.10 I haven't had much luck getting it to work under ubuntu. It used to be real easy, just plug it in and it mounted on the desktop and I could add or remove music easily. But now since 9.10 to 10.04(present O.S) the only place the player even shows is rhythmbox. Why doesn't it just mount on the desktop? When I do get rhythmbox to find the player I can't do anything with the files on it . They won't even play, nor can a add music to it. Rhythmbox needs to be started before the player is plugged in or rhythmbox shuts down and the player freezes. I have the restricted extras package installed and every other package I could find related to mp3 files, vfat and ntfs file systems. where is the player supposed to mount to? I also plugged in the device and tried to locate it with disk uticelity and gparted no luck. I tried to switch the players mode and all that did is make the player appear empty. don't know what else to try.
