[gentoo-amd64] iPod issue

[gentoo-amd64] iPod issue

[Fernando Boaglio]

Hi folks,

Have you guys tried to run iTunes?

Ok, I got gtkPod, but still lacks podcast support and many other stuff.

So I needed iTunes @ my linux box and started working:

1 - installed qemu following GentooWiki HowTo
2 - created xp image disk
3 - installed everything including iTunes
4 - plugged my iPod, got its ID from lsusb output
5 - using -usbdevice tried to run iPod under qemu

And then... my virtual XP was slow as hell and didn't recognize my iPod =(

What can I do now?

Please help =)

Is this a new ipod?  I read somewhere (Slashdot maybe?) that the new 
IPds have some sort of key that keeps any other app from using the ipod 
except for itunes.

Not really... I bought the classic 30gb (5th generation).

I wish I could run iTunes anyway =/

ituns should work with wine. try it out. and if you want a dual-boot system
i've just discovered that you can use xen di paravirtualize windows and
linux without any modifications to the base system with the condition that
you have one of these processors:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/HVM_Compatible_Processors
of course you have to install a full xen to disk, so you'd have to modify
your base linux distro. on the next pc i'll try it out and learn more about
how to do it.

It's a simple checksum that has already been reverse engineered. I
don't know about gtkpod, etc but I know gnupod can handle this as of
0.99.4 (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnupod/CHANGES)

detect my iPod =(
