I was hoping to use a 160GB ipod classic as a music lib and external
storage in puredyne. I'd been told that ubuntu variants should detect
the pod and maybe even mount it automatically. Puredyne 9.10 doesn't -
i.e., if I plug in a fat32-formatted flash drive, I can see /dev/sdb*
but with the ipod, nothing.
ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda4 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6
I installed the rhythmbox package (supposedly supports ipod) thinking it
might install a dependency that would get the kernel to recognize the
device. No luck.
It's not a hardware or cable problem - I booted into winxp on the same
machine and it's fine.
There must be a driver somewhere... ideas? Google searching was not very
helpful. Some sites just say "install gtkpod" or something but they all
seem to assume the device will actually show up under /dev.
Thanks.
