I think, in the first instance, it was the iPod being am @rse: it wanted me to connect it to iTunes before it'd do anything (power-on only showed a USB->iTunes picture). We put iTunes on my son's laptop, and the iPod burst into life. *Then* I connected it to my son's Linux login and it showed up. However, I still get the same error (even after logging out and back in) in my login. Most odd. > Note that you can update music etc. using Rhythmbox or Amarok but you > won't be able to do everything (such as update the firmware) except via > iTunes. I do it with a Windows VM, which also requires a bit of setup. It does indeed now show up installed music in Rhythmbox (and gtkpod); however, we're incapable of installing music from that end. R says it's there after a bit of chugging, but the iPod doesn't; nuplug it & re-insert it & it's gone. Pretty much all my music is in .ogg; I had presumed that R would convert this to AAC or something upon copy, but iTunes is unwilling to do so, so maybe it's that. I've had to resort to exporting a selection to MP3 as ânormalâ, putting that into a dri set up to share for Windows, and then copy it on from the laptop's iTunes. Bit of a PITA, but at least it works. I shall be trying a Windows VM at some point in the semi-near future, so it you have any pointers in that regard, it'd be appreciated! -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
