How can I get my iPod to work in Linux?

Asked by Unr3a1r00t in Slax / Slackware Linux, iPod

I am running Amarok in Slackware 12.0.  When I have my iPod connected to my computer and mounted, I get this error when trying to connect to the device through Amarok: "Media Device: failed to create lockfile on iPod mounted at /mnt/usb: Read-only file system".  I have the proper library installed, libgpod 0.6.0 to support the iPod Classic.  How can I change the write permissions on my iPod so I can connect to it, and access the music on it?  Thanks.  Start Free Trial
