DetailsFor the Sansa Clip+ on Mac OS X
Opened Rockbox Utils, configuration dialog pops up. Browse to select the clip+ ("/Volumes/SANSA CLIPP" Click "autodetect" gives this error and grays out all the selectable media players. Screenshot provided IRC Conversation: <phixxor> "Unless you changed this installation will fail!" <phixxor> changed what? * BHSPitMonkey (~stephen@unaffiliated/bhspitmonkey) has joined #rockbox <phixxor> you might want to improve your error messages <JdGordon|> where the heck did that come from? <phixxor> trying to autodetect <phixxor> this page is helping me though: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/GraphicalInstall specifically "Ipod and Sansa players require you to have administrator permissions." <phixxor> does that mean I need to run rockbox utility as an admin somehow? <saratoga_> i don't think its needed on the clip+, just the older sansas <phixxor> saratoga_, interesting. what could be the problem then? <saratoga_> what was your problem? <phixxor> scroll up: starting from "Unless you changed this installation will fail!" <saratoga_> i read that, i just don't know what you're talking about <phixxor> I'll take a screenshot <saratoga_> can't you just describe your problem in words <phixxor> already did <phixxor> i clicked autodetect and got that error <phixxor> http://imgur.com/rc4Kp <saratoga_> never seen that before, but random guess: is that path correct? <JdGordon|> please file a bug with that image <phixxor> can you point me to your bug filing system? <JdGordon|> maybe it doesnt like the space in the path name <phixxor> i tried with an underscore too -- should I try a \ end of IRC Conversation |

No, thanks -- the error message is good enough. The problem is that there seems to be a bug when displaying the error message which cuts of the important part of it. So I'd rather fix the error message display than "improving" the message itself.
