Trouble mounting iTouch
  • ms3811ms3811 February 2011
    I am trying to setup my girlfriend's iTouch to work with gtkpod. When I connect the iTouch to the laptop, /var/log/messages shows:

    Feb 22 11:27:55 (none) user.info kernel: usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8

    Running "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" in the terminal window shows:

    The iTouch does not mount. I noticed above in the 8th line of the cat... output that the value for Driver is "(none)". Any ideas how to go about getting the iTouch to mount? gtkpod won't do anything unless I can get the device to mount.

    Anyone?

    You could try these instructions (and the udev section above it)-

    http://www.gtkpod.org/wiki/Getting_started#Mounting

    Slitaz sometimes uses /dev addresses that are different from other linuxes, causing errors with xine or burning software until the correct address is determined and entered.

    I do not know if there is a group permission that would help.

    @slicel, thanks for your response. I did try to mount manually. Slitaz generates a node however attempting to load that doesn't really go anywhere. If you notice in my post above, the value for Driver is none, which does not seem to be the case for other usb devices such as flash drives etc.

    When I plugin the iTouch, a new node is created under /dev, say /dev/usbdev1.x. If I try to mount this node with say # mount /dev/usbdev1.x /media/somedir, I get the error:

    mount: mounting /dev/usbdev1.x on /media/somedir failed: Block device required.

    If you only have a sata hd and the itouch attached, the command as root might be-

    # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ipod

    Gparted or other tools might show the itouch id.
  • ms3811ms3811 March 2011
    I checked with Gparted, does not show any other devices other than my hdd. Like I mentioned in my first post, usually when I plugin any external drive, slitaz recognizes it immediately and the device will show up in pcmanfm. Then when you click on the device pcmanfm will mount it for you automatically.

    In this case, it does not show up in pcmanfm at all. Attempting to manually mount the node created under /dev results in the error mentioned above.

    Not really sure what's going on here. But I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that the value for the Driver=(none) in my first post above. All other drives have some relevant value for Driver.

    Interesting link. The one take away message I got from that was not to use gtkpod with iTouch. This is my gf's iTouch, if I mess it up, I'll stay hungry for awhile ;). Thanks for looking up that post. Cheers -MS

    The link explained that the itouch will not work as a normal hd but fuse might help.

    The scarier information about resetting jailbroken itouches does not apply to your description.

    I actually did give a iFuse a shot before, I'll try it again hopefully this time with the right dependencies.

Howdy, Stranger!
