Connected an iPod to USB port on OpenSUSE 11.3 and nothing shows up. Anyone know of software which will "see" the iPod directories? Is this even possible. Thanks, Terry
That is why I bought my Wife the Sansa Clip, because I didn't want to futs around after Christmas to get it to work - she is running Linux too.
To my knowledge, iPod - REQUIRES - Windows or Mac.
Gtkpod works great with the ipod. However, the ipod has to be formatted as a FAT drive and not with the native Apple filesystem. The first time the ipod is connected to iTunes it should be on a computer with MS Windows. Itunes will automatically configure the ipod. Then when you connect it to a linux machine, gtkpod will easily read and write to the device, add playlists, etc. If the first time you connect the ipod to an Apple machine, it will configure the ipod with the native Apple filesystem which gtkpod will not see. Best wishes. Gustav
Partly correct. gtkpod works with older ipods. The older hard disk-based ones. It does not work with ipod touch devices. I have both and was a happy gtkpod user. When I got a touch a couple years ago, Linux support went away. But of course that is the simple answer. If you look near the bottom of the following link (in the heading "The iPhone and iTouch"), you will see that it requires that you jailbreak the ipod so you can access it via ssh (sshfs to be more precise). I have not done this as I have a Mac as well. So I use the iPod with that. http://www.gtkpod.org/wiki/Getting_started#Using_udev I just plugged my iPod touch (not even a new model) in and lsusb shows: Bus 003 Device 003: ID 05ac:1293 Apple, Inc. iPod Touch 2.Gen And I see this in /var/log/messages: Jan 2 01:08:56 barracuda kernel: [ 943.712125] usb 3-3: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=1293 Jan 2 01:08:56 barracuda kernel: [ 943.712158] usb 3-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Jan 2 01:08:56 barracuda kernel: [ 943.712176] usb 3-3: Product: iPod Jan 2 01:08:56 barracuda kernel: [ 943.712185] usb 3-3: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
