Re: [Ifp-driver-common] Re: ifp gnome 0.6 segfaults on Ubuntu Breezy

Hi Sean,

Actually ifp-gnome doesn't require root privileges as long as you add 
your regular user to the plugdev group.  Ubuntu adds the first user to 
the plugdev group by default.

I should have some time this weekend to explore the other problems 
you're having.

[Ifp-driver-common] ifp-gnome - copy from iriver to computer?

[Sean Hammond <sean.hammond@gm...>]

It doesn't appear to be possible to copy files or folders FROM my iRiver to
a computer using ifp-gnome. I have to use ifp-line to do this. I use my
iRiver to transfer data fairly often, and since ifp-gnome supports drag-dro=
p
TO the iRiver, would it be fairly easy to add support for drag-drop FROM th=
e
iRiver?

[Ifp-driver-common] Re: ifp gnome 0.6 segfaults on Ubuntu Breezy

[Sean Hammond <sean.hammond@gm...>]

Update: Installed ifp-gnome on Breezy again on a different machine. This
time I ran it and got a 'could not claim interface message' because my
iriver was turned off. Closed ifp-gnome, turned on the iriver, ran ifp-gnom=
e
again, got the segfault.

This reminded me that although ifp-gnome always has to run with root
privileges the command it installs in the gnome menu is 'ifp-gnome' and not
'gksudo ifp-gnome' (this was true of earlier versions of ifp-gnome, you had
to change the menu entry to be able to use it). I changed the command and
ran it again, now it appears to be working fine. At least it doesn't
segfault. I haven't actually tried uploading any files but I will try that
soon enough.
