Howto Mount 2nd Generation Ipod in Ubuntu

Posted by admin on March 14th, 2007 Email This Post Email This Post

Martin Jürgens at Launchpad wrote and put together the .deb files which will fix the problem with HAL not recognizing the device correctly. There are 7 .deb files, they may be found and downloaded from here (Although there are other files in this directory, all you need are the .deb files )

Download all deb’s, place them into a folder on your desktop, let’s call it “deb”.

First you need to install the following dependencies

sudo aptitude install python-glade2 python-launchpad-integration hwdb-client-gnome libdbus-1-dev libhal-storage1 libhal-dev

Once you install the above packages do the following

cd /home/user/Desktop/deb/

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

(Where user is obviously your user name) And you should be home free. You will probably want to reboot before everything works correctly.
