[Techtalk] Rhythmbox and Banshee issues (Ubuntu Natty Narwahl)

[Deborah Gronke Bennett]

The Zen does not get mounted on the desktop when I plug it in. I am able 
to mount it manually using this command:
sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /media/usbdisk
When plugged in and powered on, the zen appears in the output of the 
mpt-detect command, and in the output of the lsusb command.

The gpodder wiki and the manual both lack any instructions on using 
gpodder with an MPT device like the Creative Zen.
