Depending on your version of Ubuntu, you might need to read this page: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LibGphoto2Bug

I don't think this is related -- that page deals with Sansa and Gigabeat players, but he uses an Ipod. You might want to disable the HID feature, however. Just check the menus.

The iPod shows in the disk utility, but I can't mount it. When I try in terminal I get

--- Quote ---kurt@El-Savior:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc2
[sudo] password for kurt:
mount: can't find /dev/sdc2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
kurt@El-Savior:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc
mount: can't find /dev/sdc in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

--- End quote ---

(Edited to fix some code issues)

You need to tell it where to mount (Or add it to fstab)


--- Code: ---sudo mkdir /media/ipod
sudo mount /dev/sdc /media/ipod

--- End code ---

Or better yet add this to your /etc/fstab:

--- Code: ---/dev/sdc /media/ipod vfat rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0

--- End code ---

(That was copied from my fstab. I don't think you will need to modify it but who knows)

When you add it to your fstab, you can then do this:

--- Code: ---mount /media/ipod

--- End code ---

Which is a bit easier, especially the lack of sudo (and password)

*EDIT*
Actually, it will probably auto-mount. I'm no Linux Expert but my ipod auto mounts when I plug it in and I didn't do anything special to make it do so.

Also, remember you CANNOT SIMPLY UNPLUG YOUR IPOD when it's mounted. You must at LEAST unmount it. I prefer to eject it as that makes the ipod screen display a checkmark saying it's okay to disconnect.


--- Code: ---eject /media/ipod

--- End code ---
or (with no fstab changes)

--- Code: ---sudo eject /dev/sdc

--- End code ---

Yeah, no dice. I installed 3.5.1, and it mounts fine on my wifes MacBook Pro, but it won't mount properly in Ubuntu, even though it used to just fine prior to my experience with a current build. For the record, I was on a Windows box when I installed the current build.
