    I've tried to use kpod under my ppc linux machine but I've encountered some problems.
    The program is successfully installed but when I try to access my ipod mini I see only a list of squares (it seems like when you use a wrong encoding).
    Under a x86 machine all works fine with the same ipod and the same kpod.

    Any hint?

      Hi,

      I tried fixing this but have no idea if it really works since I don't have a PPC platform here. Please go to the "Patches" section and try out the patch and please tell me if it works so I can incorporate this in the next release.

      Regards
             Michael

        I'll try it as soon as it will be avaiable on the site. Actually you've forgot to attach the file :)

      PS: please also try to synchronize with no changes and make a backup of your itunesdb.

        The patch fix all the problems.
        Just apply this other silly patch:

      Hi micron,

      since kswap.h (and therefore KFromToLittleEndian) is no longer part of the standard KDE distribution the kswap dependency got resolved recently.
      I can't test it here since I don't have a ppc system here so could you please test it with the latest dev snapshot?

      Regards
              Michael

        I've successfully compiled and installed ipodslave-2005-11-07.

        It works fine.

        Cheers
