For what it's worth, if I go to my iPod's device properties in Rhythmbox, and deselect the Podcasts, and then choose Sync, it DOES go through the sync process... sort of.
When it "completes" the iPod shows as having synced, but the iPod itself doesn't show any of the synced music. Choosing "Eject" on the iPod in Rhythmbox causes the iPod to be re-mounted, but then I get the initialization box saying that the iPod is corrupt or somesuch. Still not really a successful sync, but maybe helpful info. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/940556 Title: rhythmbox crashed trying to sync Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Opened rhythmbox, selected device (iPod nano 5G), and clicked sync with library.
