[Gtkpod-devel] Rough guide to syncing an iPod Nano 6G

[Florian E. <fl...@bu...>]

Hello everyone,

I've successfully synced my iPod Nano 6G with gtkpod on Ubuntu 11.10.
Here's a brief summary of what I've done to get this running:

- replace Ubuntu's libgpod 0.8.0 with 0.8.2. I may put packages into
   my PPA at a later point for easier installation, although precise
   already has the correct recent version available.

- place the infamous libhashab.so/libhashab64.so into /usr/lib/libgpod/
   -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 543K 2012-01-21 19:34 libhashab.so
   md5sum (32 bit): bb7180cb0c9cee2a605a5a276672913e
   (Google is your friend.)

- after Ubuntu automounts the iPod, force it to read-write mode using
   sudo mount -o remount,rw,force <mountpoint>

- take ownership of all files & directories
   sudo chown -R <your_user_name>: <mountpoint>

- run gtkpod

- sync, be happy :-)
