connecting my ipod touch (Version 1.1.5). When I plug the ipod in, ubuntu doesnt recognize it at all, not even as a camera. It will however charge it up. Ive tried Hipo and Amarok but neither of them do anything as well. I am running Ubuntu 9.10.

You can check it at the banshee siteQuote:There is a known issue with iPod not being recognized by Banshee on openSUSE 11.2 and Ubuntu Karmic.mainly because of switching from HAL to device kits, as done with Ubuntu Karmic 9.10. Related bug is #586508 "Underlying distros moving from HAL to DeviceKit breaks Podsleuthslity to mount device"More details are available atAt the timehis writing a possible workaround is reported to be the following:Quote:[...]all I would have to do is disconnect the ipod andmake sure that banshee is closed. Then open up terminal and run
Code:
killall -9 nautilus
Then plug in the iPod and wait about 30 seconds, then run nautilus again by hitting Alt+F2. After I ran this and opened up banshee my iPod worked like a charm
I do not manage to get my my ipod touch 4g recognized by ubuntu 10.04. First time I tried, it was recognized as a camera and not as a media player. I tried to install a few other packages. Now it is not recognized at all....
I followed guidelines on the forum and installed libimobiledevice, ifuse, usbmuxd and libplist. Note I unlock my ipod before connecting it.
Here is what I get with ideviceinfo
jean-francois@Sony:~$ ideviceinfo
usbmuxd_get_device_list: error opening socket!
No device found, is it plugged in?
I see a lot of post related to new ipod touch 4g installation but I think I screwed up somewhere in my configuration since the ipod is not recognized at all.
I've made some progress (at first, the ipod wasn't seen by the system at all). I've removed what appeared to be conflicting usb mounting packages and that has allowed the ipod to be recognized by the computer (i.e. the name of the ipod show up on the desktop with an ipod icon and i can manipulate files with nautilus. however, before i upgraded to lucid, rhythmbox would start automatically and I was able to manage the music through rhythmbox. now, since the upgrade, rhythmbox does not detect the presence of the ipod.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to connect my 2nd Gen Ipod to Xubuntu and import my music collection onto the Ipod. I am having real problems with this. Rhythm Box does not recognise the Ipod with the plug-in, I have tried Amarok, but each time I tried to open it, it just crashed, tried sending a bug report but that did not want to work. I have also tried Exaile with the Ipod plug-in but when you go to the device manager you can click on the Ipod but nothing happens. I have tried looking at the Exaile forums but this seems to be a problem for others as well. The Ipod mounts ok, now a bit stuck.

At this point my ipod shows on my desktop when i connect it via usb. I cannot set up the repository for it in gtkpod because i dont know the location its mounting to. if its mounting at all. so my question is. how can i tell where my ipod is being mounted? I dont have a clue what to look for in the terminal results for "df -a"
But this is what i get:

Edit : Itouch = first generation 8gb Edit 2: I would like to create a sticky thread that helps new users answer questions about ipods. Will a moderator please let me know what i should include in their opinion? ex. using wine to run itunes, gtkpod and how to set it up, using mm players like banshee and songbird... what version of ubuntu works best with the ipods.
I've been trying to get my iPod touch (8GB, jailbroken) to connect with gtkpod iPod manager. But whenever I try to load the iPod I get this message.

Nothing pops up, it doesn't automount, it's not seens by KDE or by GtkPod... Nothing at all. It tried installing a bunch of iPod-related stuff from the repository, rebooted, nothing more happens.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just bought a no-brand wireless presenter. It's a plug n play device, and it works out of the box on a windows machine. I plug it into my laptop with Natty installed, the buttons on the device for page up and page down do not work.
I tried lsusb and dmesg, it seems to me that it is recognized as a USB YUREX. I did a quick search on Google, and I found somewhere that the device will work if it is recognized as a generic HID, but I have no idea how to do it.
When I attach my ipod it gets automatically recognised and mounted to "/media/user's ipod". This is great but I would like to change the mount point to just "/media/ipod/" as it easier to use with gnupod (command driven ipod access oh yes!!) I've had a look around and I know how to mount devices but I'm at a lose as to how things in fedora are automatically mounted... I use gnome so from what I've read hal, dbus, and udev yeah? but I'm not sure what configuration files need to be changed. At the moment I'm just wanting to change the ipods mount point but I would like know more so any technical how-to or articles, or things to look at (I'm thinking X), to understand auto mounting would be nice too.

View 2 Replies View Relatedso i don't know what happened, but all multimedia files are suddenly speed up/and-or with no sound (ubuntu 11.04 with all recent updates, firefox 4, adobe flash-instick etc.)
if i try to play a flash movie on for instance videos it's sped-up with no sound, if i play an mp3 song (i use exaile) the bar is sped up and there's no sound either, if i start an avi movie (vlc) it's not sped up but there's no sound though.
when i log in to the system the logging in jingle is not playing, so basically the sound just got turned off for some reason but according to the soundbar it should be on.
this problem started just recently. i don't know if it has to do with recent updates or that my log in re-started a couple of times after using a kde program (kmess).
somewhere on this site i saw a link for another firmware option for the ipod besides the actual ipod software. can someone direct me to the link possibly?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe problem is the only video codec that iPod touches can playback is MP4. My Psych episodes are AVIs. I've heard of and used mencoder to change video codecs before, but I'd have no idea how to write my own script for it. What I was thinking of doing is using Avidemux to convert it? Open the AVI in adivemux Switch the video to MP4 Mpeg-4 switch the audio to MP3 lame
Honestly i'm not too firmiliar with codecs and containers but its telling me that rather than Xvid(which i think it was previously) the video codec is MP4 and the audio is MP3, and the container is AVI. First of all is this correct? Did i get the codec/container right?
Secondly will this work on my iTouch? I guess dealing with AVIs as a container is ok as long as the video codec is MP4? rather than like OGG or something? Ugh i'm so confused, i've just been rambling..
Ok. First of all do i have codecs/containers down? Am i correct with my assumptions? Second, I am correct that the CODEC is the problem, it must be MP4 to play back on the iPod? the container being AVI has nothing to do with it? (i'm basing this off of the fact that i know the only "codec" iPods can playback is MP4)
Edit: are there any other possible ways to convert an AVI to an MP4?
I know there are a few threads on this already, but I don't think they apply to this type model specifically. This link says that the libgpod is not yet current with the hardware.
It also says that it works with iPod Touch 4G's with a lower OS (ex. 4.0.1). Mine came with 4.1, but even after jailbreaking, I cannot get it to sync music.
If I were to downgrade the OS (is this even advisable for this model), would I then be able to sync music in Ubuntu?
I received my very first iPod (iPod Shuffle) as a gift. When I connect the iPod to my Ubuntu 10.10 (64-bit) system, Rhythmbox starts and detects that the iPod hasn't been initialized yet. I haven't connected the iPod to any system running iTunes yet.
I installed Hipo, but it won't run because it can't find "org.freedesktop.Hal". Would it be safe to let Rhythmbox initialize the iPod or should I connect it to iTunes first? The plan is to use iTunes on Windows or Rhythmbox or Hipo or something on Linux to manage music on the iPod.
I know that iDevices do not support OGG, but on Ubuntu 10.10 when I synced my iPod Touch with Banshee, it would convert my music (all .ogg) and then sync it to the iPod without changing the original files. Now I'm on Kubuntu 11.04 (still using Banshee, I prefer it over Amarok) but when I try to sync now I just get errors saying .ogg is not supported. How can I fix this? I'd rather not convert all my music into .mp3 because (a) It goes against my free software values and (b) it would take forever.

I added about 6GB of music into it (via Rhythmbox).When I eject and disconnect the ipod, it tells me that 6GB are occupied, but the music directory says that it's empty. Does the ipod need to be "initialized" in itunes? I have another ipod that was first used in itunes and it never gave me any issues with Rhythmbox.I have two machines running Ubuntu 9.10. I can't get itunes working with wine, and I don't have a mac or a windows machine.

View 4 Replies View Relatedi'm being slightly sarcastic i think it's safe to say i'm doing something wrong but i'm just at a loss as to what. as it stands banshee - doesn't recognise ipod songbird - doesn't handle album art and overwrites ALL existing art floola - doesn't support new itunes database rhythmbox - doesn't handle album art hipo - doesn't find ipod gtkpod - doesn't find ipod yamipod - doesn't handle album art
so it's not entirely invisible, i will confess i've spent the past 2 hours trying to work out why banshee, hipo and gtkpod all don't see the ipod when songbird, rhythmbox and yamipod do. podsleuth tells me it can't find any ipods, even on a rescan - when i've got the ipod connected. if i select "properties" on the Ipod when it's connected, i get this ..[URL].. it's frustrating because it drives me back to windows every time so i can use sharepod again, and invariably start all over again re-doing all the album art - again.
i've got a backup of all my music that i took directly from the ipod - it's on a seperate hard drive, so i can only hope and pray that sharepod writes out the album art as well.
My iPod Nano 3G, which used to work perfectly in 9.10, doesn't seem to work in 10.04. It's detected by Ubuntu and Rhythmbox, but Rhythmbox can't see what's on it and you can't synch to it. Banshee doesn't even detect it at all. I thought iPod compatibility had been improved for this release, not gotten worse? Anyway, what can I do to troubleshoot and hopefully fix the problem?
