Error opening ‘/media/iPod/iPod_Control/Music’ for writing (Read-only file system)

Hey there I'm Robert MacEwan the author of Ideal Absolutes. If you're new to macewan.org, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.

I stand corrected. It’s much easier to work with the iPod on Ubuntu Linux if you are working with a Windows format instead of Apple format with that little green brick. I’m currently too busy with a project to explain how to fix this little problem so I’m issuing a raincheck. Don’t worry about the if because this is doable. Google around for hfsplus if you feel brave.

From the error messages I’ve encounted it appears that we’ll be reinstalling the filesystem on the iPod and working from there. I may even install ipodlinux if the mood stikes me. In the even you’ve run into these problems and have a suggestion please feel free to pass it along. As long as you’re not spamming I’ll approve the comment.
