Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gvfs
Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 Linux shine-karmic 2.6.31-14-generic-pae #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 15:22:42 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux gvfs: Installed: 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Plug in iPod (nano and 120Gig classic) get these errors in dmesg: [ 6005.480448] VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdb1. [ 6259.618242] FAT: invalid media value (0x2f) Ipod mounts on desktop ok, but can't be used in songbird, banshee, exhaile, any iPod manager except for rhythmbox. Nautilus browses ipod directory fine. fdisl -l /dev/sdb shows: Disk /dev/sdb: 2047 MB, 2047868416 bytes 248 heads, 62 sectors/track, 260 cylinders Units = cylinders of 15376 * 512 = 7872512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x20202020 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 11 80293+ 0 Empty Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?): phys=(0, 1, 1) logical=(0, 1, 2) Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(9, 254, 63) logical=(10, 111, 8) Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sdb2 11 261 1919543+ b W95 FAT32 Partition 2 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?): phys=(10, 0, 7) logical=(10, 111, 15) Partition 2 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(248, 247, 62) logical=(260, 31, 61) sdb1 is the iPod's Operating System and GVFS is attempting to mount it, i believe. sdb2 is the vfat partition where the music lives. mount shows: /dev/sdb2 on /media/JBB-POD type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush) If I unmount the ipod (/media/JBB-POD) and then mount it manually: sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,user,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush /dev/sdb2 /media/ipod/ Everything is fine. It can then be used by all iPod managers (songbird, banshee, etc). I dualboot with Janunty (9.04) and everything is fine when iPod is mounted automatically.
