Qlix - anyone got it working? - media transfer to/from MTP formatted gizmos

[pwrcul]

I now can sync my MTP formatted YP-U3 mp3 player using Amarok, but I want a more general solution for simply moving podcasts, etc.

Qlix looks very attractive, and in the past I have found some claims in other forums that it works.

It crashes every time I try to use it under Kubuntu 9.10 on a desktop and netbook.

I never get to see the expected interface as described on the developer's webpage:
http://qlix.berlios.de/?page_id=3

I found no recent Kubuntu/Ubuntu bug reports. My crashes display no messages. They start with just "no devices found. Please connect a device" (generally, but not always when I had not yet plugged the YP-U3 in) or "Detecting Devices" when it recognizes my YP-U3 supposedly but soon crashes. Most of the time it fails to close and Kwin has to kill it.

I have libmtp, mtpfs, mtp-tools, and qlix-dbg installed as well as qlix, all from Ubuntu repositories.

Well, as the developer (from his site) doesn't state that he has developed Qlix for anything higher than Intrepid (and that was stated as: 'With any luck we’ll see Qlix 0.3 in Intrepid Ibex'). I would be thinking that it won't run correctly, if at all, in Karmic.

Thanks, snowhog, for that comment.

I posted a similar note for "all variants" at the Ubuntu forums, but so far have no replies.

I will wait another day or so and then look deeper, if I can break the time free, and see about contacting the developer and maybe Debian/Ubuntu package people or do a bug report.

I will keep my fingers crossed in the meantime and hope that I may have only overlooked something...
