Hey!
I have Linux Ubuntu 11.04 :woot:
I've used it for about a couple months now, but i have been using linux for a while.
I have a question/problem.
Why does the iPod sync take forever on m4a files? (or now, its gotten to any file, i think.)
and does anyone else have to wait 7 hrs to sync ~300 songs?
and has anyone fixed this problem?
thanks!

(Ubuntu 11.04, Ipod 2g 4.2.1, jailbroken)

Ubuntu wasn't made with mp3's and iPods in mind. You should just manually put the files on the device.

You mean like ssh into it? or just sync with some windows computer?

welllllll now it does mount, but nautilus can't view it.


i think this means that it just glitched and i need to reboot.

anyways, it used to mount (on the ipod, not the comp) at like /var/mobile or something. so i don't think drag and drop works....

it should mount at mnt/* or something like that. If you don't have rights to the folder then run sudo nautilus from the command prompt (why did I go back to Windows?) Terminal TWICE and use the to windows to exchange .m4a files.

yea, it mounts on the computer at /mnt/(random number-letter sequence, i believe its an md5 hash)
nevermind,
now it mounts at afc://89f344043957a69b1b279dfaec336bb715061cc4/
i'm gonna do a apt-get upgrade to fix this i think....
