santner Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Two weeks ago.... Everything was great. The sky was blue, the grass was green and my iPod worked flawlessly using gtkpod. Today.... Something happened, possibly a software update with unexpected effects but now I am left with an iPod that doesn't mount because it doesn't know where to mount to. All of my scripts to handle the mounting/unmounting/ejecting no longer work. First off, where did /dev/sda go? I remember hearing that in the near future it will be deprecated and replaced by udev? Anyway, in the end I just need help re-establishing how to use my iPod on linux WITHOUT /dev/sda as I think it has disappeared! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 What does dmesg show (connect the ipod, open a console and type dmesg. Post the last dozen or so (relevant) lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iphitus Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 does the ipod still play music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santner Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Still works like a champ. Like I said before, I never had any problems with it. After I configured my computer it worked flawlessly. I truly think that I have updated some software which has hosed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:XP9l1...&hl=nl&start=10 This is old but perhaps worth a try. Plug in your ipod and wait till the disk is spinning. Then plug it out an quickly plug in again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
