Sony Walkman Nwz-s616f

[Pepello]

Wow, my third post in a day :p
This is the problem: my Sony blablabla (read the subject ^^) isn't recognized by the system. I red adout a hal fix and another one to libmtp, but those guides were for ubuntu distro, thus completely useless to me. Does anyone have the same problem? Can someone help me?

I have the exact same walkman and it would be nice to get it working in pardus.

I can say that it works ootb with the Vector 6 rc1 and Mint 6. It doesn't work with pclinuxos, sabayon 4, arch, mepis 8 rc, sidux or mandriva. I think it worked with suse 11 but I've since installed another distro over that one.

It would be nice to stop having such issues with linux.

...... my Sony blablabla (read the subject ^^)

I have the exact same walkman..............

I guess this is about a Sony walkman with USB interface?

[Pepello]

Yes, yes it is, atolboo!
And i still don't understand why it works with some distroes and not with others; i wish i cuold have the knowledge to "port" the right packages on every distro i use, in order to have always all the hardware and software functional, but i don't. It's weird how some distroes have some functionality that others lack, and vice-versa O_o This means that virtually a distro could handle all in the right way, but for some reason it doesn't!
How can it be? I mean: when a given function is available on one distro, how can i undestrand what is going right and reproduce it on another disto? Is there a way to do so?

Could you do the following test.
Start Pardus while the Sony is connected to the USB port.
Is the Sony then visible in System on the desktop?

[Pepello]

Ok, i'll do it and i'll let you know ^^

No, not on my system.

To give more background information.
Have a look in this bug report.

I booted the pc with the mp3-player plugged in but nothing changed. I red the bug-report, it says something i already suggested: that the bug might be caused by an hal problem. My source was this one: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3096598; it's for ubuntu, but it doesn't matter since i think it focuses on the problem well.

Hi Pepello,

I think your issue is quite different than atolboo's and deserve a bug report of its own because it involves a different transfer protocol (microsoft transfer protocol).

If you write it, don't forget the link to the kubuntu forum post. It is so explicit that I'm sure you will soon have a fix from a developper.

Hi Phix! Thanks for the answer! Help me further: how do i write a bug report?

If things are in Turkish, and not completely sure then just guess!
As long as  you send a report.

Thanks a lot! I made a bug-report, it's bug 8926. Hope they'll solve it ^^

I cannot access my Sony Walkman Nwz-s616f when I plug it in.

The issue has been solved on Kubuntu (0), but the solution is Kubuntu-specific, so it needs to be transposed to Pardus. How can I do this ?
