Cannot Sync Music to iPod Touch

[David Leonard]

Binary package hint: ifuse

I am having issues syncing my iPod Touch 2nd Generation from Rhythmbox.

iPod Details:
 - 2nd Generation
 - 3.1.3 firmware
 - Spirit userland jailbreak (spiritjb.com)

Ubuntu distro details:

You are using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
                - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 and supported until April 2013.
 - 64-bit

Whenever I try to drag a song onto my iPod, I receive the following error:

"Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: The name :1.63 was not provided by any .service files"

I had this iPod working before with the 4.0 beta1 firmware, but ran into stability issues, and had to downgrade to 3.1.3. My iPod does mount fine and I can browse, I can also copy stuff to the ipod through nautilus, I just can't sync songs via Rhythmbox.

To Reproduce:

1. Open Rythymbox.
2. Connect iPod.
3. Transfer song (any song)
4. Error message recieved.

I'm puzzled by this. Do you have any non-standard/manually configured on the Ubuntu side.

I would not expect ifuse to be used on 10.04, but 'gvfs-afc-backend' to be used instead; is that running?

Paul:

I thought ifuse was the default, but if gvfs-afc-backend is the default, than that is what I am having an issue with.

Have that problem too on my desktop:
Linux sergey-desktop 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The most strange things in this bug that I have a laptop with same Ubuntu x86_64 (three days ago installation) and my desktop with a fresh install with a latest updates. No such bug detected in my laptop.

Some more details:
1. Connect IPhone. It appears in Nautilus and file transfer is ok/
2. Launch Rhythmbox - IPhone suddenly unmounts automatically.
3. After I replug IPhone it appers in Rhythmbox.
4. Transfer song - Get Error message.

After installing ubuntu-restricted-extras all file transfer is ok. Bug disappeard.

[David Leonard (daverto2)]

I will confirm installing ubuntu-restricted-extras fixes the issue.
