New iPod nano - do I have the steps correct to step up?

Something odd .... checking Photos on ipod

I could only get fred dir on ipod by running as root?

Either my udev rule permissions are wrong or.... :?

I'm still working, so I will post the output when I get home..
However, I COMMENTED OUT my fstab entry! I just plopped the udev rule in there, and then I have to (begrudgingly) manually mount the iPod.
What I would love to do is just plug the ipod in and have it mount, complete with a KDE desktop icon, and then right click to eject...but I gotta crawl before I can walk I suppose.

what does ls -la /dev/ipod show?

This is what it says before I unplug it and re-plug it in, right after booting.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Dec 30 20:54 /dev/ipod -> vcc/a7

And this is what I get after mounting (mount -t hfsplus /dev/ipod
/media/ipod)

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 30 20:57 /dev/ipod -> sdc

Ipod icon shows up on Kde desktop no problem ....

I haven't had an iPod icon for ages. Occasionally it pops up, but for the most part it has abandoned me

Well I tried makepkg after downloading it, but I get this error:

==> Entering fakeroot environment
==> Making package: ipodslave 0.7.3-1 (Sun Dec 31 18:40:41 EST 2006)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Checking Buildtime Dependencies...
==> Retrieving Sources...
mkdir: cannot create directory `src': Permission denied

What am I doing wrong now?
EDIT: I went back and manually made the directory as root....but still trying.
I can't seem to get the tarball to download...seems frozen at "Connecting to dl.sourceforge.net|193.1.219.87|:80... "
Still trying.

getting packages sourceforge are a problem go grab tarball via browser put in build directory ;-)

where are you building package ?

If you still have problem I'll build it & upload it for you ....

Misfit138 · 2007-01-01 14:19:03

I was trying to build it in /var/abs/local.
I downloaded tarball from browser, copied to /var/abs/local.
Then I did makepkg, which does not seem to work in fakeroot env. (I have to use root or sudo)
Then it hangs with above dialogue.
I tried again, and it worked! Thanks!
Now how shall I run it?

Mr Green · 2007-01-01 15:46:59

I build my packages in /home/mrgreen ... I copy the build directory from /var/abs/ [or unpacked tarball !!!] ... to /home/mrgreen/builds then cd into that directory and run makepkg [as user!]

/var is owned by root so unless you are root package will not build .... not a good idea building as root anyway [thats what fakeroot is for!]

As I said if you get stuck let me know I will build and upload pkg for you

you should not need to have ipod in groups if you are a member of storage should work out of the box

Arch Linux
