What distro are you on? I made sure gnome-volume-manager, dbus and hal are installed. But when I launch gtkpod I get: '/media/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB' does not exist. Import aborted. In fact /media/ipod does not exist. If I create it and mount the thing manually I get permissions errors. How is this supposed to work? Is gnome-volume-manager supposed to create the /media/ipod directory? Should it already exist? What are the correct permissions? Lee
