Firewire IPOD not mounting on 8.10

[454abp]

Hi,

since upgrading to 8.10 i have a problem with my IPOD Classic (3rd generation). It is not mounting any more on my system.

Dmesg has the following output:

Does any of you has a clue about that?

Same here. Fresh kubuntu intrepid install and a 3G ipod classic.

Worked like a charm on hardy...

Same here. 3rd generation Ipod w/Firewire. However, I switched from using Kubuntu all these years to Ubuntu (I'm not happy with KDE 4). It makes sense the desktop suite would have nothing to do with it. Anyway, My Ipod worked fine all these years but on 8.10, it won't mount.

[teddks]

Are you talking about the all-white iPods with the full touch controls?

I have one of those, and while I use USB mostly, I have a computer with a firewire card that I could throw the liveCD on.

I'm not sure. They are all white. The Reverse, Forward, Menu and Play touch-buttons are above (not on) the touch-wheel. I guess USB can be used for data transfers but only Firewire (12V) or an AC-outlet adapter can charge the unit.

That's the one.

I'll give it a whirl on the liveCD and post back with my results.

Yep, I've got this problem, too. Besides those dmesg outputs, I tried to manually mount and got this:


root@doom:/media# mount -t vfat /dev/sdc ipod/
mount: /dev/sdc: can't read superblock
root@doom:/media# mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 ipod/
mount: /dev/sdc1: can't read superblock
root@doom:/media# mount -t vfat /dev/sdc2 ipod/
mount: /dev/sdc2: can't read superblock

[sadrak]

Same problem here :-/

USB works, firewire not ...

with USB it mounts as:
/dev/sdb2 on /media/IPOD type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1 000,utf8,umask=077,flush)


here are the output from dmesg after plugin with firewire:

Yes my 3g pod worked fine in every other version going back to the 5.xx era. Does not work with firewire now on 8.10. Usb is fine (but 3g's do not charge on usb).

[exparrot16]

I just discovered that I have this same problem. Firewire worked fine in several previous versions of Ubuntu but not now. Oh well. I've got a spare usb cable for now...
