Is there a page or wiki with info on how to get an Ipod going on
12.1?? I just did a fresh install w/updates and would like to be
able to connect an Ipod.
The unit does show up in lsusb.
Bus 001 Device 018: ID 05ac:129e Apple, Inc. iPod Touch 4.Gen
Banshee should recognize the device when you connect an iPod.
I tried that a couple times, no dice.
I did a bunch of reading and tried a bunch of stuff, but still
nothing, it does know the device is there, not sure what socket it
is talking about....
suse-121-shuttle:~ # mkdir /media/ipod
suse-121-shuttle:~ # chmod 777 /media/ipod
suse-121-shuttle:~ # usbmuxd
suse-121-shuttle:~ # ifuse /media/ipod
No device found, is it connected? <---Ipod not connected (on
purpose) If it is make sure that your user has permissions to
access the raw usb device.
If you're still having issues try unplugging the device and
reconnecting it.
suse-121-shuttle:~ # ifuse /media/ipod <---Ipod connected
WARNING: no socket to connect to
suse-121-shuttle:~ #

No No. You shouldn't need to do anything like that.

When you connect the iPod do you get a mass-storage mount message
from GNOME?

Perhaps you are missing a package, if you "zypper search ipod" what
shows as installed? I don't recall what package is used to manage
the ipod, I'll have to check later.


When I connect I get a pop up that asks what I want to open the
pictures with, no new drives show up.

zypper search ipod returns nothing.

suse-121-shuttle:~ # zypper search ipod
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
No packages found.

I would expect gtkpod to show up, I installed it with Yast.

This is all new to me, the gtkpod page mentions something about
firewire???

Thanks, Mike..


I have a 'Generation 6 iPod Classic' that forces me to keep a Windoze
installation available with iTunes installed because that's the only
way I can use it. I think most, if not all, of the prior models worked
fine under Linux but 'Generation 6' and later have encrypted firmware,
making one's iTunes maintained Library inaccessible except from iTunes.
I could be wrong about other models, though, so you'll want to research
and confirm the case with your specific model and serial number.

regards,

Carl
