You could try this to patch the binary library; it works on my amd64 box because the 3RO string only appears once in the library.
First ensure Rhythmbox is NOT running (killall rhythmbox will do the trick) and then: # Get root privileges sudo -s cd /usr/lib # Convert libgpod.so.4.1.0 to hex and swap out "3RO" for "3R0", then convert back to binary. eg 33524f is "3RO" in hex xxd -g8 libgpod.so.4.1.0 | sed s/33524f/335230/ | xxd -r > libgpod.so.4.1.0-fix # Changeover the link to use the new binary rm libgpod.so.4 ln -s libgpod.so.4.1.0-fix libgpod.so.4 Afterwards, run rhythmbox. If it worked, all should be fine. If something went wrong, it'll tell you that it can't activate the ipod plugin. You'll need to shut it down, run gconf-editor and search for /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/ipod and set active to true to get it to try next time. And, of course, restore the link to the old (broken) libgpod.so.4.1.0. -- rhythmbox corrupts ipod database for black 8GB ipod nano (B754) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
