ipod touch/iphone support

[cra1g321]

Hey i was wanting to know if anyone has gotten ipod/iphone support working with Salix ?

i've got a 3rdgen Ipod Touch, and i wouldnt mind playing some songs from it when it's connected.

Im running latest Salix KDE

I think you only need to get libtasn with slapt-get and:

libplist
usbmuxd
libimobiledevice
ifuse

with slapt-src (as root). Then create a usbmuxd user (as root):

Code: Select all

useradd -u 233 -g plugdev -d /dev/null -s /bin/false usbmux

and a directory to mount your ipod (not root):

Code: Select all

mkdir $HOME/ipod

and then you should be able to mount your ipod with (not root):

Code: Select all

ifuse $HOME/ipod

You can unmount it with (not root):

Code: Select all

fusermount -u $HOME/ipod

That's all from memory, but I think it's right.

I use exaile to listen and gtkpod to write to my ipod I'm using KDE in Salix, I find most of the KDE multimedia apps are totaly useless in KDE thats not just Salix. Exaile plays all audio including cd just needs perl cddb also for me ipod only works if I don't tick the box but tick mass storage and load under device manager.

the instructions that gapen provided worked.

Able to mount and view the ipod touch's contents no problem. im not sure if rhythmbox detected the ipod or not as this was few weeks ago,

on debian squeeze atm but will probaly return to salix
