apple ipod ieee1394

[babaz]

Ciao a tutti,
ho un problema non riesco a far funzionare il mio ipod sulla porta ieee1394 o firewire, mi potete dare una mano? Quando lo attacco non mi rileva nulla ma proprio nulla, tutto tace con tail -f /var/log/messages.
Grazie

First, I will explain how to get GTKPod up and running first, then I will go over the distinct problem that I was talking about.

If you want AAC support for GTKPod, type the following command in in the terminal:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

sudo apt-get install gtkpod-aac

You'll need to make sure that you have the Hoary Backports repositories added to /etc/apt/sources.list in order to use the gtkpod-aac package. Check http://backports.ubuntuforums.org for more information.

Otherwise, type this in:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

sudo apt-get install gtkpod

Keep in mind that you cannot have both packages installed at the same time, so I advise you to just use the AAC package.

You can likewise search for "gtkpod" in Synaptic and install it through there.

Next, in order for it to properly appear in the menu, type in:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

killall gnome-panel

I'm assuming that GNOME or KDE will automatically create a mount point for your iPod under the /media/ directory. If not, edit fstab, and add a new entry into it. Here's what I personally added at the bottom of fstab:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

...

/dev/sdc2	/media/MERCPOD  vfat	nosuid,noauto,nodev,rw,umask=077,gid=1000,uid=1000,user,defaults,noatime,iocharset=utf8	0	0

That should be enough to get your iPod up and running.

When you go into GTKPod, go to Edit > Preferences, Input/Output tab. I personally didn't get the auto mount/unmount thing working, so I left it unchecked.

However, the most important field in that entire preferences window is the iPod Mount Point field in the Input/Output tab. Fill in the mount point field with the appropriate folder that GNOME/KDE created (or that you yourself created) for your iPod. With GNOME, it automatically created the folder /media/MERCPOD, MERCPOD being the name of my iPod that I entered in when I had it set up in Windows.

Restart the program. It will automatically fill the GTKPod database with all of the songs and playlists that you have stored on your iPod prior to setting up GTKPod.

However, here is the rub: GTKPod seems to work randomly for different people. It will work on one synchronization, yet it will stop working for subsequent synchronizations. Others will find that it will not work, period. There's a simple solution to that, actually; just type the following command in into your console app:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

sudo dosfsck -a /dev/sdc2

sdc2 being the partition where your iPod data resides. Be sure to check out /etc/mtab with gedit in order to confirm which /dev/ node is being used for your iPod.

The above command will execute dosfsck, and automatically fix any errors encountered in the vfat partition.

After that, GTKPod should work flawlessly without your system automatically mounting your iPod as read only.



P.S: con me questa guida ha funzionato. L'ho trovata nel forum ufficiale di Ubuntu inglese. Se ho tempo la traduco e la metto nel nostro wiki.
