2) Setup HAL/DBUS
sudo gpasswd -a username hal
sudo gpasswd -a username dbus
Make sure 'hal' is in your daemons array down at the bottom of rc.conf.
something fails?
# dmesg | tail
3) mount the ipod:
sudo mkdir /mnt/ipod
sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/ipod
4) vim /etc/fstab
add line at end: /dev/sdb2 /mnt/ipod vfat user,noauto,unhide 0 0 //vfat?
- reboot!
NOW:
mount /dev/sdb2
umount /dev/sdb2
Make some symlinks, etc .
5) Use rhythmbox to play music (if open, and hal is setup, it should autodetect the ipod)-
otherwise? browse /mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/music folders. garbled folder names and filenames. maybe someone will make a cmd line too to play stuff there.
Notes on that: generate m3u playlist that references ipod folders. use mp3info lib
