Installation / Removal > Rockbox Utility

Installation problem

(1/3) > >>

kneedeep:
Initially I was having a problem getting the ipod to mount under linux (Ubuntu 10.04) but now that is resolved after allowing itunes to reset it to factory defaults under my Windows 7 install.

I then - under Ubuntu - ran gksudo ./RockboxUtility as per someone's instructions in the forum after navigating to the proper directory and then choosing my model, but get the message:
"Error reading partition table - possibly not an ipod"
I get the same message whether trying to install the bootloader or doing the complete install.

I've read in the Ubuntu forums also but nothing I try seems to work.

Can anyone point out what I might be doing wrong or maybe something I'm missing?

edit:
This unit is  working fine using gtkpod.

TIA

Please post the output of the Help / Troubleshooting / System Trace and System Information dialog. Also, does the Ipod work with the Apple firmware? And, what exact Ipod do you own after all? It's almost impossible to tell what's going wrong here without knowing the exact Ipod ...

Sorry, I thought I gave details - that was another post elsewhere.

Its a 2nd generation shuffle.
Apple firmware is what's on it now and it works fine under gtkpod.

Here's the System Trace:
