ipod patcher doesn't see ipod

(1/1)

metroid08:
I have an ipod video 5g(30gb) and i am trying to install rockbox on it.  I could not get the rockbox utility to find the ipod so i tried to install it manually.  I followed all the steps in the manual, but ipod patcher doesn't recognize my ipod.  Here is what the terminal spit out
--- Code: ---ricky@ricky-laptop:~$ cd $HOME
ricky@ricky-laptop:~$   chmod +x ipodpatcher
ricky@ricky-laptop:~$   ./ipodpatcher
