Solved – Ubuntu 10.04 – Creative Zen – Gnomad2 crashes on startup segmentation fault
Tech July 30th, 2010
I use Gnomad2 to transfer stuff to my Creative Zen. On my Ubuntu 10.04, the problem is that Gnomad2 quits itself and says something like that:
Device 0 (VID=041e and PID=4157) is a Creative ZEN.
PTP_ERROR_IO: Trying again after re-initializing USB interfaceQueried Creative ZENSegmentation fault
Here is my work around:
1- Remove libmtp8
First, just install Gnomad2 on your Ubuntu 10.04 (if you have not installed Gnomad2 yet), then go to Synaptic Package Manager, remove “libmtp8″.
Then download and reinstall libmtp8 from Karmic (go to this link and download the .deb file)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libmtp8
2- Reinstall Gnomad2:
sudo apt-get install gnomad2
3-Connect your Creative Zen to the computer and unmount it (R-click on the device and choose Unmount), please remember unmount your creative device before you run gnomad2
4- Now start Gnomad2 with sudo privileged :
sudo gnomad2
That’s it!
