[Gtkpod-devel] gtkpod problems

[Jeffrey R. <je...@bu...>]

I've been trying unsuccessfully to use Gtkpod on a Fedora Core 6 - 
x86_64 system.  The FC6 system (yia yum) installs gtkpod version 0.99.8 
and libgpod 0.4.2.

The iPod is a Black 30Gb Video unit (lsusb shows Bus 007 Device 006: ID 
05ac:1209 Apple Computer, Inc.) and Fedora automatically mounts the unit 
as /media/JEFF  (since I named the iPod JEFF).

My problem is, I have started with a completely default iPod, by 
starting itunes and doing a reset to factory settings.  Then moving the 
ipod to the linux machine I attempt to copy over 20+ GB of music, the 
iPod churns for a long time and when it finally finishes I don't see any 
songs, artists etc on the iPod.  if I move it back to the machine with 
itunes it confirms that 20Gb is used by "other" items but shows no music.

Any assistance would be appreciated thanks...
