Ipod mini second generation: boot loader "Ipodpatcher" Issues

(1/1)

mdlefave:
I am following the directions to install the ipodpatcher in linux as described in the rockbox manual.

and this is my present condition (a copy of my terminal):

matt@matt-Money:~$ cd $HOME
matt@matt-Money:~$ chmod +x ipodpatcher
matt@matt-Money:~$ ./ipodpatcher
ipodpatcher v2.0 with v2.0 bootloaders - (C) Dave Chapman 2006-2007

[ERR]  Please connect your ipod and ensure it is in disk mode
[ERR]  You may also need to run ipodpatcher as root.
[ERR]  Please refer to the Rockbox manual if you continue to have problems.

Press ENTER to exit ipodpatcher :

matt@matt-Money:~$ sudo -i

root@matt-Money:~# cd $HOME
root@matt-Money:~# chmod +x ipodpatcher
chmod: cannot access `ipodpatcher': No such file or directory
root@matt-Money:~# cd #HOME
root@matt-Money:~# chmod +x ipodpatcher
chmod: cannot access `ipodpatcher': No such file or directory

My Ipod is in disk mode so thats not the problem.

Thanks to who ever takes the time to respond.

Why not just use Rockbox Utility to install?

AlexP:
When you are using sudo -i to become root, then typing cd $HOME you are going to root's home folder, not matt's home folder, therefore ipodpatcher is not in the directory you are in.

Instead run sudo ./ipodpatcher as matt, or even better, use Rockbox Utility.

I just realized that I have a second generation nano, not a mini.

Which I believe is not compatible with rockbox firmware.

Sorry for wasting your time.

AlexP:
OK.  If you do come back to Rockbox for any reason, please take some time to read the forum guidelines.  I've just deleted the other identical topic you started on this subject.
