I have Rhythmbox and Amarok installed as well as libimobledevice. and Packman is an active repo.(if that means anything)
When I plug my iPod in, Dolphin does not recognize it in Places.
Neither does Rhythmbox nor Amarok, I assume because the system is not seeing it.
I only use the iPod fr music, so I don’t care about adding iTunes in a VB( or via Pine) as I only want to add music once in a while.
I haven’t been able ot onut the iPod touch 4th gen
I’ve seen some other players that won’t work with iPod Touch, but as far as I can find, both Amarok and Rhythmbox both should work.
Any clues? to get my head out of a dark place about this?
lsusb recognizes it is there when I plug it in.
I get the pop up asking what to use for it, but nothing there related to music on the device.(just the camera)
I will look at the dmesg command next time on the desktop.
But I thought rhythmbox had ‘native’ support for iPods. Guess not, or I am overlooking something important.

Hi
Could be the USB port power starting to fail on older hardware, only way to confirm is a newer machine to try and duplicate, do you have a powered USB hub to try connecting too?
When it’s connected run the command usb-devices and see how much current the device is using and driver.
Do you have multiple USB ports to try?
Could be in usbmux, or the fuse file system or libmobile as well, if you can duplicate on a different machine, then more likely software rather than hardware.
When you mean with that that it is in your repo list and enabled, then you still have to use it. Do so by doing the vendor switch as described in the multi-media sticky threads.

OK, thanks, I will connect it to the newer(within last 5 years) HP Pavilion AIO and see if that recognizes the iPod.
The more I look, the more confused I get about an iPod with the flash drive storage will not work with any of Linux software available at this time. I think this is what you mean by the statement ‘more likely software rather than hardware’.
If I could find my wifes old iPod wiht the touch wheel that has a built in actual spinning drive I could prove that, but haven’t seen it for a few years.
Hi
Well I have an iPod nano and a iPhone they all connect fine without usbmux segfaulting (test machine is a 2007 MacBook), that’s why I suggested to try on another system and see if it duplicates.
We found my wife’s iPod Fifth Gen 30GB with the ‘wheel’ ( http://susepaste.org/85791362 )and it loads up on the older HP desktop like it should.
I haven’t had to chance to try my iPod 4th gen touch on the other machine yet(lost my HDD on the laptop because MS fubar’d it with a preview update),
But I will get to it.
So I am still guessing iPod’s that have flash type storage are not compatible with any of the Linux software I hae used(Amarok, gtkpod, RhythmBox).
What iPhone do you have, and what Linux software do you use to access it?
Also what iPod nano model and generation do you have?(there are generations up to about 8 so if is an earlier ‘gen’ it may still use the ‘spinning’ disc technology).
Leap 15 ‘recognizes’ the iPod 4TH GEN Touch is there. I can look at the pictures on it no problem.
But I can’t play the music on it, and I can’t access it to add or delete music.

Hi
My test iPod is a 6th generation, iPhone is a 6S.
It get recognized in Leap fine with Rhythmbox, then select the iPod and
Music directory, hit sync and done. From there can play the music as in
although synced, music is still on the iPod and not on my computer
Music directory…

As stated, Leap knows the iPod touch is there, but when I open Rhythnbox, amarok or gtkpod the device is not listed in the left panel devices area.
Malcom, this is carrying on too far, probably not worth the effort(s). I still have Win10 to manage the silly thing. Was hoping to get farther away from Win10.
The Nano is listed, it’s usbmux that’s causing the issue for you, you could try (as root user) starting the usbmuxd daemon before attaching the device…
systemctl status usbmuxd
systemctl start usbmuxd
systemctl status usbmuxd
Your nano is one with the ‘spinning’ disc IIRC.
I plugged my wifes into all of my Leap installs and it works on both. Files are there, music is there an playable.
I plugged my iPod Touch in my Leap machines and it does not work on any of them, but is recognized as an 'Apple Ipod 4th gen with lsusb command.
gtkpod and Rhythmbox do not recognize it is present on either machine.
dmesg on the AIO HP does not have the usbmux lines in it with the Ipod Touch attached.
Thanks for the commands, I will give them a try and see what happens. It is something I have most likely over looked.
But I am thinking now, it is hopeless.
OK, to close this one out. I don’t think my iPod Touch 4th Gen will work in Leap, and maybe not other other distros.
