I used to use my ipod with windows, not a mac, and I still get “read-only filesystem error” when I try to use it with ubuntu – is this also because journalling is turned on? is there any way to turn it off from windows?

yes indeed: turning off Journaling on my iPod worked. And I am able to write and read, in Kubuntu 8.04 Beta. It’s amazing, compared with the sweat and tears I had in Ubuntu 7.10 !

Btw. for MAC people, in order to disable journaling on your iPod, run th terminal and type:

diskutil list

–> This will show you a list of disks on your system, one of them is your ipod. Then look for the IDENTIFIER of your iPod, which is listed in the most right column. It will be of the form “disk1s1″ or something like that. The one you are looking for is the biggest partition one on the ipod, usually the disk#s2 !

Then, type:

diskutil disableJournal disk#s# (NB. replace the # with the right numbers)

…and it should tell you that it’s been successful.

Happy ipoding !

I just got Ubuntu last night and I still haven’t plugged my iPod into my laptop because I’m afraid it might format it. (350+ videos and 1500+ songs)

Not only did I learn how to use a HFS+ iPod with Ubuntu, But I also learned that Amarok may be better then gtkpod. I hopefully will be able to use Songbird with my iPod. I thank you James and Alyson =)

I’m hping someone can help!

I’ve restored my Nano using my daughter’s Macbook (originally, the iPod’s file system was created under Windows). I also turned Journaling off. All seemed well for a while until I was getting Amarok errors like ‘can’t find Tunes DB’ and ‘ failed to create lockfile on iPod’ .

Do I need to make the iPod writable or something. If so, should I just chmod in ‘Terminal’ on her Macbook, or on my Linux box?

Yours Desperately,

Tim :)

I’m glad this worked out for you! I’ve never used gtkpod, but then again, since the iPod seems to integrate so well with Amarok, I haven’t had any need for it.

I was having a horrible time with gtkpod, thinking that Amarok wouldn’t work. I can’t believe it was so easy. Thanks again!
