So this is funny. I booted winxp, installed itunes, reformatted the
pod as fat32. Then I rebooted back into puredyne, installed rhythmbox
and plugged in the pod. Nothing. Then I suspended the session, had
some pan-fried Chinese dumplings for lunch, came back and plugged the
pod in again - and it works!
From this, I must conclude that the secret is all in the dumplings.
Homemade preferably - none of that frozen tat.
To close the loop on this (for future list-archive searchers):
I couldn't get rhythmbox to recognize the ipod. I ended up installing
exaile from synaptic with its ipod plugin (I also needed to enable the
ipod plug in exaile > preferences > plugins).
It wouldn't play m4a's until I installed gstreamer ffmpeg and
gstreamer good/bad/ugly. After that, Philip Glass's Music in Twelve
Parts (part 1) came streaming out. :)
It's all working now.
And, re-re-closing the loop -- other advice from an ubuntu forum is that
if the device doesn't show up in /dev, another thing to try is to plug
in the iPod, log out and log back in again while it's plugged in.
I was searching for that yesterday because my system again reverted to
the state where the iPod was ignored. Rebooting the pd machine didn't
help; neither did rebooting the iPod. I found by chance that rebooting
the computer while the iPod was plugged in did work -- then found the
forum postings suggesting that a logout/login could have the same effect.
For future reference (unfortunately I've no time to contribute an iPod
reference page to the p:d manual).
