Re: [gentoo-user] udev rules for an iPod Touch?
Your user should be in plugdev, with the mountpoiny rwx by plugdev. I have root:plugdev rwxrwxr-x. I have more written, but I'm travellong atm. Use app-pda/ideviceinstaller -l to get AppIds then use ifuse --appid to mount Apps 'Documents' folders (to pass them music/videos/ebooks). I needed ifuse libimobiledevice from git for my updated ipad1.

I have root:plugdev rwxrwxr-x. Oh, and run ifuse as the user, not as root :) I'll look into both of those. Thanks. I got the Kindle Fire yesterday (2 days earlier than they originally told me.) As far as I'm concerned the device is almost brilliant. At least 4.5 stars. It's Android based, pure USB and very accessible. Just hooked it up to my Gentoo box, mounted it, found the Video directory, downloaded some movies ripped in Handbrake and started enjoying it. Took about 20 minutes from opening the box until it was playing a movie. Storage is a little small. 8GB internal, about 6.3GB available to me, but for $199 I have to say that having a portable reader/movie player that also gives you free video if you're an Amazon Prime member and has apps for playing NetFlix Instant Watch and Hulu+ is really nice. Personally I like the 7 screen format but the device does feel a little heavy. Batteries lasted all day and through the evening. - Mark

I'm AB+ which makes my plasma universal donor, but I'm also but also CMV- which makes it appropriate for people who have suppressed immune systems. (Newborn babies, AIDS patients, etc.) I've been donating for about 10 years now (since 9/11) and in fact donated both platelets and plasma yesterday afternoon. I'm told that in the U.S. the AB+/CMV- combination makes my type way below 1% in my age group. As a whole blood donor my AB+ can only be used by other AB+ people, but my plasma can be used by anyone. Plasma can be frozen and keeps for up to a year so I'm pretty much assured that everything I donate is used somewhere. I hope anyone reading who doesn't donate will at least consider donating. Even donating once a year is a big help. It's not painful and whole blood donations are easy. I do apheresis which takes longer as it draws my blood, separates the contents, keeps the plasma platelets and then returns the rest of my blood back to my body. (Spooky!) ;-) Cheers, Mark

You might need to tell gtkpod to open the ipod by pointing it where it is mounted I have the same problem, with an iPad, but effectively the same. iPods work on the local Ubuntu machine, and I believe that usbmuxd is the problem in this case. It's supposed to pick up the ipod announce in dmesg and take over. I can't test atm, but it looks like a good place to start. Take a look here: http://marcansoft.com/blog/2009/10/iphone-syncing-on-linux-part-2/ which is a little old, but has piles of info. I'm thinking of updating the HFS+ page on gentoo-wiki - if we figure this out, maybe we can write up a good guide for Apple i* devices.

2011/11/4 Jorge Martínez López jorg...@gmail.com: Did you install app-pda/ifuse and app-pda/libimobiledevice (dependency of ifuse and gtkpod)?. I do not recall touching any udev rule. Greetings, -- Jorge Martínez López jorg...@gmail.com http://www.jorgeml.net Google Talk / XMPP: jorg...@gmail.com Hi Jorge, Thanks for the ifuse idea. ifuse /mnt/ipod does seem to get the device mounted. However just poking around in the /mnt/ipod directory isn't very clear by itself about how music (and one day hopefully videos) are stored. Maybe I can find some info somewhere to help with that if necessary. Even with the device mounted it doesn't seem to be visible to gtkpod, and there aren't any new USB disk messages in dmesg. Just a single ifuse message is all that's added. Well, at least I can sort of communicate with the ipod even if I cannot do anything interesting yet. Thanks! - Mark
[gentoo-user] udev rules for an iPod Touch?
Hi,
I was looking at an app called gtkpod which looks like something my
wife might use to sync her iPod Touch. The gtkpod manual suggests that
when the system is setup correctly if I plug in her iPod I should see
it show up in dmesg as a USB disk. Currently I do not:
[ 163.164161] usb 2-4: new high speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd
[ 163.280726] usb 2-4: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=1291
[ 163.280731] usb 2-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 163.280734] usb 2-4: Product: iPod
[ 163.280737] usb 2-4: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
[ 163.280739] usb 2-4: SerialNumber: REMOVED-BY-MARK
The manual also talks about making some udev rules, an example shown here:
#80GB IPOD
SUBSYSTEMS==usb, ATTRS{serial}==000A2700, KERNEL==sd?2, \
NAME=80gbipod, MODE=0664, OPTIONS=last_rule
#4GB IPOD NANO
SUBSYSTEMS==usb, ATTRS{serial}==000A2700, KERNEL==sd?2, \
NAME=4gbnano, MODE=0664, OPTIONS=last_rule
Unfortunately it does not say what file to put these rules in so
from some other web pages I used /etc/udev/rules.d/60-ipod.rules.
c2stable ~ # ls -al /etc/udev/rules.d/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 3 14:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 23 15:09 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root0 Jun 23 15:07 .keep_sys-fs_udev-0

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28 Jan 21 2011 99-fuse.rules
c2stable ~ #
I've removed the serial number for the sake of this thread but the
udev file number and the number I see in dmesg to match:
c2stable ~ # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/60-ipod.rules
#8GB IPOD Touch
SUBSYSTEMS==usb, ATTRS{serial}==SERIAL-NUMBER, KERNEL==sd?2, \
NAME=8gbipodtouch, MODE=0664, OPTIONS=last_rule
c2stable ~ #
I've rebuilt my kernel to include everything Apple oriented, as
well as USB oriented, that's discussed on this page:
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/Apple_iPod
Still, when I plug the iPod in it shows up but not as a disk:
[ 79.115529] usb 2-4: new high speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd
[ 79.233277] usb 2-4: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=1291
[ 79.233282] usb 2-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 79.233285] usb 2-4: Product: iPod
[ 79.233288] usb 2-4: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
[ 79.233291] usb 2-4: SerialNumber: SERIAL-NUMBER
Does anyone here have this working? Can you see what I might be doing wrong?
One possibly clue is that when I plug the iPod in KDE is popping up
a message about a new camera being attached. I assume KDE is behind
udev rules in terms of priority, but if not then possibly KDE is
somehow blocking it showing up as a USB device? If I remove it from
the KDE Camera Settings it just gets created the next time I plug it
in.
Thanks,
Mark
