Question about using rockbox for audio and original firmware for video- ipod 5g

Great, I will definitely try that. After your last answer, I was thinking that this has to be an ubuntu issue and since I am new to linux and ubuntu, I do not fully understand the ins and outs of the file structure, mounting, etc. I am working on it, but it is not my area of expertise. The ipod shows up on windows all of the time, but when the file system is corrupted that is when I get the black screen on my ipod saying rockbox is not there and then windows says it can't read from the disk. So my thought is that when ejecting it from linux something is happening to the file system. I will try what you said and report back in a few days with hopefully good news.

EDIT: I did it now and it seemed to work, so hopefully that keeps up-thanks.

Hi, I don't mean to respond to my own old post, but I just wanted to say that I gave up on rockbox after all of that, and tried to use apples firmware, but just couldn't stand it. I was about to sell my ipod last week when I decided to give rockbox one more try. I have a different machine now, a better understanding of ubuntu (still not great but I can get around better than I could in November), and when I installed rockbox this time everything seems to be great. I don't want to jinx it, but I felt I should say this since so many people tried to help me before. I was using an emachines m6805 with the 64 bit ubuntu and no knowledge of it really. Rockboxed ipod shows up pn my desktop every time now on my IBM (and 32 bit OS, don't know how much different that is but all of my drives automount now). So I just wanted to say thank you and I am glad to be back with rockbox. Hopefully it all continues well.
