Do you have the brand-new iPod touch firmware? I can't get mine to work in Ubuntu 11.04 with the new firmware either. Apple invents new ways of keeping Linux from working with iPods, but usually a new kernel release fixes things up. If all else fails, try a newer kernel version, or just wait for Ubuntu 11.10 to be released.
