Problems Installing to 30GB, iPod Video

<< < (2/2)

GodEater:
Are you sure the error is about the mount point not being writeable, or was it the device?

Clicking the icon from Konqueror suggests you've started the program as a non-root user, in which case the application will not have the permissions required to modify the firmware partition (NOT the mounted filesystem, it's a different part of the iPod's disk).

I think the easiest solution is go back to your xterm window, but not use "su" to become root, but rather use "sudo" to start rbutilqt.

Using su does not carry over the right parts of the Xauthority system, whilst sudo should do.

Mel97215:
Well that did the trick. It backed up the previous configuration, and then did the complete installation.
Thank you.

Now a new problem. I tried to play a file, and it seems to have hung.

It displays:

Erase dynamic playlist?
SELECT = Yes
Any other = No

Now it doesn't respond to anything, can't turn it off, or back out.

GodEater:
That's pretty unusual.

Normally you'd press the button in the middle of the wheel at that point, and it'd continue playing whatever you'd selected.

However, if it's hung, you'll need to do a hard reset (Hold menu+select for about 10 seconds or so).
