ipod now mounts as read only filesystem.

rdking · 2008-01-17 23:37:28

had to re-install base, as I ran amuk with mixing testing and non testing repos.

after re-install, the only packages from testing I installed were amorak-base and it's dependancies, and libgpod.

it recognizes my ipod when I plug it in, but mounts it as read only. Even though my user has write access to the mount point. Ipod is new classic, and I have followed the guide on amarok. ipod is formated hfs+. It was working great, until I re-installed the base system. Everything I had put on the ipod under linux is still there, so the database shouldn't be borked.

any help? I modprobed hfs, hfsplus, and still read only

hfs+ is the problem.

what's the output of ``mount"? can you write to the device as root?

no hfs+ is not the problem. Don't ask me why, but a /etc/rc.d/dbus and hal restart didn't work, but a cold boot, and everything works fine....I did add, hfs and hfsplus to my demons array, maybe that helped

The "problem" is libgpod. There is a new version in testing, it will be moved to extra this weekend. With the old version of libgpod it seems, that you write the songs to your ipod, but they don't appear after plugging it off. From the wiki of libgpod:

Starting with the 2007 generation of iPods, libgpod needs an additional configuration step to correctly modify the iPod content. libgpod
needs to know the so-called iPod "firewire id", otherwise the iPod won't recognize what libgpod wrote to it and will behave as if it's empty.

Wait until the new libgpod is moved this weekend, and follow the steps here: http://gtkpod.wikispaces.com/Sysinfo+File#ClassicNano3g

Then it should work again.

well yes, but I already installed the testing...I think libgpod 0.6. I don't know why, but like i said, restarting the services, and logging out didn't do anything, but a cold boot, and everything is A ok
