Awesome + Awesome = Double Awesome, but for some reason Ubuntu + iPod = a mess.

My laptop's a dual booth, so I have Vista and Ubuntu Karmic Koala. I was running a full screen presentation and plugged in my iPod, forgetting I was on Ubuntu. By the time I realised it was too late and all my files were now a neat little unreadable mess.

I plugged it in on Vista, and tried iTunes's Restore option, but the network connection keeps timing out.
Are there any other things I can do?

What did it do to your iPod?
AFAIK it shouldn't do anything unless you told it to sync or something; even then it will just copy your music across.
Could you provide a little more detail?
