This is mainly for Terry (sorry I think I might be calling you Terry and its the wrong name - sorry - it coudl be something that sounds like Terry - Erin?), I mean the guy I was helping with the iPod and gtkpod just before we closed up for the night. I am really sorry I'm terrible with names.
Basically I have ubuntu 7.04, I get the same issue with gtkpod where theres no "synch" button on the toolbar, BUT what I found is that the iPod Nano 2nd Gen is actually showing up in the "Choose your iPod Model" dropdown (which this list doesnt appear in the older version btw, it just seems to work) and listed under 6th Generation Nano 2Gb Silver. That was probably why we couldnt synch the changes back (maybe different models use slightly different protocols??), but basically once you get the right ipod selected, you just choose "Save Changes" and that synchs the ipod again. It does work for me now. I dont know why it lists it as a 6th Gen as I know my iPod Nano can only be 2nd Gen because the new 3rd gen Nano is the one that (is slighly shorter and wider and..) now supports video playback, unless I have lost track of the version numbers. Let me know (your proper name, and...) how you get on.
