[Bug 1431212] Re: Philips GoGear Vibe MP3 Player is not properly recoginized on Ubuntu 14.04

 

pfez, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As
per http://www.asus.com/supportonly/K55VD/HelpDesk_Download/ an update
to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (411). If you
update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate
does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

  I have a Philips GoGear Vibe Mp3 player that worked fine on Ubuntu
  12.04. Recently, I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64 bits) on the same
  machine and my deviced didn't work properly anymore: when I open it, I
  see an icon named 'Internal Storage' inside. If I right-click outside
  the icon (but inside the GoGear Vibe folder) to see GoGear properties,
  Nautilus says it only has 1 element, with a size of 0 bytes. Also, if I
  ask for GoGear's permissions, Nautilus says they couldn't be determined.
  If I open 'Internal Storage', nautilus only shows an empty folder (no
  files inside, see the attached screenshots for details).
  
  On Ubuntu 12.04, I opened my device and all it's content was shown
  directly without any problem. Also, there wasn't any 'Internal Storage'
  icon.
  
- This is probably related to bug 1214765, bug 1397487, and question
