Thanks for all the "Thank you" messages i'm glad so many ppl got this working. Also thanks to Nothingspecial for supporting other ppl with getting this working too, it's ppl like that that makes the...

Hi Guys

just want to clear something up as it seems it could be causing some confusion, the link/instrustion Posted to by Jamesbrown is for the 5G test branch from the libgpod developers, if you...

try this


sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgpod.so.4* /usr/local/lib/

Nice, that seems to be the fix...

Those 2 issues i'm aware of, it's because the values the Ipod looks at in the SQL tables are wrong and they need to be changed.

Also another issue is the...

That's not a major error I get that on one of my machines but everything works ok still,i think that may be related to libiphone so you can try and build w/o as it's confirmed that package isn't...

Use the link below to create one and copy it in the Device directory, then try again see if it helps.

Ok,

going back a few post and looking at what Mortfrog posted i'd be inclined to agree with him, I don't think the the cbk file is being created and this is causing the the code to exit before the...

libiphone should not be required for the Nano 5G (or my patch). however I think we can confirm there is a issue with libgpod copying the *.itdb to the 5G and this seems to be one of the main problems...

@rmjb

the only real differences between your config and mine is libiphone, taglib and sgutils. can you try a build with those packages installed.


sudo apt-get install libiphone-dev...

The cbk file is the checksum file if this is not being created then the files are not going to be to the Ipod and manually copying them won't help either. :(

I think we can rule out source problem...

Darn the output is as I would expect, it not a problem with the way it is mounted... i couldn't copy them b4 they were removed either was was more to check if there left behind as the're not copied...

Same issue as Vizzini

Hi,

You have done everything correct and the gtkpod out put looks as I would expect it too... almost :) every thing in the output is being done on the PC before it is coppied to the Ipod, all the...

the only thing I can think of here is you built and installed gtkpod first try and cd to the the libgpod source folder (to on downloaded from the git) and run the following:



make clean...

This is normal the 5G doesn't use this file.



this isn't the database either so libgpod will not change this file either, the tracks ar now all stored in sqlite databases in the "iTunes...

Ok, that look more like it can you now do 3 things for me,

1st post the contents of your SysInfo file found in the Device folder on the Ipod.

2nd run this command and post the output


...

I've installed it too (using WINE), it was the first thing I tried :) as far as the application goes it does work well but was far as syncing goes (with the 5G) it doesn't.

Or are you using a VM?

I see your problem here you haven't patched the source correctly... Go back to my first post and add my modified files to the "src" dir of libgpod (overwrite the originals) then build and install and...

Have you followed the advice from the previous posts? patched and compiled source then set the Firewire ID and model number correctly.




You can contact them from their site, but that is most...

you can't use that model it doesn't work the same way, either use the gtkpod from the GIT (5G will be in the list then) or use a diffrent application maybe somthing like rhythembox and manually...

the iTunesDB file is not used on on the 5G so being 0 bytes in size is normal, the database files are now .itdb files. This sounds to me like gtkpod needs updating or maybe try rhytembox (the one i...

This is not a error this is just information.



This one is a error, wrong mount point selected, maybe. check and see where your ipod is mounted and make sure you have that mount point selected...

Hi all

Everyone is having the same issue of no songs showing, this is because the wrong checksum is being calculated, this is caused by incorrect info in the SysInfo file. You need to get that...

make sure your sysinfo file has the firewireid (starting with a 0x then the 16 numbers) and model, check the README from the source on how to do that without it the checksum will be wrong and no...

Hi Guys,

I got one of these Nano 5G's for my wife for Xmas, I didn't wanna get it but she really wanted it, and like me she only uses Linux. so it seems I bought her a useless Xmas present? any...
