    Re: Struggling to find a way to use my ipod with Ubuntu

    This may not be the solution you are looking for but I hope you don't mind me contributing.

    I had a lot of trouble using my iPod when I first moved to Ubuntu over three years ago. Between them Banshee and Rhythmbox wiped all my covers or wiped all my songs. This was three years ago so they may be better now.

    Since then I've been using Virtualbox with Windows XP and iTunes.

    This is the only thing I have to go to XP for. I absolutely hate iTunes but use it solely to manage my iPod.

    Cheers

    Re: Struggling to find a way to use my ipod with Ubuntu

    Thanks Dave, this might work for many.

    I didn't have any trouble with gtkpod and my iPod nano in the past though (the "past" being a 10.04 ubuntu system). It even played nice with occasionally getting a file or two from iTunes at a friends place.

    And I just don't own a windows license. So VirtualBox/VMware won't do...

    Re: Struggling to find a way to use my ipod with Ubuntu

    Sorry for the newbie question.
    I follow all the instructions but when I type gtkpod in terminal I get:

    bash: /usr/bin/gtkpod: Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado

    I need use any diferent path to run?

    Re: Struggling to find a way to use my ipod with Ubuntu

    I tried to install Gtkpod using using the 2 aforementioned commands.

    What do I do next?

    Please be exact as I have no idea really how to do those "make" "install" etc commands or other fancy sort of stuff.

    Re: Struggling to find a way to use my ipod with Ubuntu

    Thanks so much for the easy scripts! i'd been wanting to update GTKPod for over a year (when i was still on 10.10). After upgrading to 12.04.1 (64-bit) i was dismayed to read of teh troubles with the version in the Ubuntu repos. This is a great relief, there are few software programs that annoy me as much as iTunes.

    Re: Struggling to find a way to use my ipod with Ubuntu

    I compiled and installed gtkpod from git but I think some libraries
    get missplaced, when I run /usr/local/bin/gtkpod does not find
    libgtkpod.so.1

    Re: Struggling to find a way to use my ipod with Ubuntu

    Hi

    I followed your steps, but had lots of tweaking to do, maybe because it's a Kubuntu-based distro in 64bit. After 3 hrs I think I have nearly made it, but can't figure out my last problem. Below you find the terminal output before the script / your command sequence aborts. It seem that .libs/libgtkpod.lai cannot be found, and indeed if I check the folder ~/gtkpod/libgtkpod/.libs, the only the files libgtkpod.so and .a are there, but not .lai. Any suggestions would be very welcome, I am quite frustrated after 3hrs of work...
