[Bug-gnupod] no sound, flashing lights

[Thomas Krichel]

  hi,

  I have just bought a 2G ipod shuffle. I have overcome the
  problem of case-sensitive file system reported here

http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg571642.html

  by using

trabbi:~#  mount /dev/sdb /mnt -o 
rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uhelper=hal,flush,uid=1000,shortname=lower,check=relaxed,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1

  I init the ipod

trabbi:~# gnupod_INIT  -m /mnt
gnupod_INIT 0.99.7-CVS (C) Adrian Ulrich

Your iPod is mounted at /mnt, ok ?
*********************************************************
This tool creates the default directory tree on your iPod
and creates an *empty* GNUtunesDB (..or convert your old
iTunesDB to a new GNUtunesDB).

You only have to use this command if
    -> You never used GNUpod with this iPod
 or -> You did an 'rm -rf' on your iPod

btw: use 'gnupod_addsong -m /mnt --restore'
     if you lost your songs on the iPod after using
     gnupod_INIT (..but this won't happen, because
     this tool has no bugs ;) )

 Done

 I add a file

trabbi:~# gnupod_addsong -m /mnt /home/krichel/pimsleur/m1_01.mp3 
gnupod_addsong Version 0.99.7-CVS (C) Adrian Ulrich
+ [MP3 ][  1] Mandarin Chinese I - Unit 01     |                                
  | Pimsleur                
> Writing new XML File, added 1 file(s)

 Done

  I unplug it from the base, the I press play, I get no 
  sound, just 10 flashes of orange and green light. 

  What am I doing wrong?

  Cheers,
