But now what... I power my sansa down and power it back up again but no rock box.....


Ok I figured it out for all of those people out there running ubuntu and have their files hidden they need to use these commands to unhide your files and then run your sanspatcher.

To make this change bring up the run dialog box by pressing Alt+F2 and type gconf-editor, then click on the run button to bring up the Gnome Configuration Editor.

Now browse to the following key:

desktop / gnome / file_views

In the right window pane, look for the entry named show_hidden_files and click on the check box to set the value to true (shown by the check mark).

Now when you browse the file system on your Ubuntu computer, Nautilus will always display hidden files.

advcomp2019:
The reason why you did not have Rockbox is you only installed the bootloader.  You needed the .rockbox folder on the root of the Sansa.

printerdude83:
Yes the rockbox files were hidden.

Strife89:
Nautilus automatically hides any file or folder that starts with a period in the name (".rockbox"). In Ubuntu, unhiding them is as simple as clicking on "View/Show Hidden Files" while browsing files in Nautilus. ;)
