Hi there!

I recently installed Debian Wheezy on someone else's computer, but I'm
having a hard time syncing ipod nano 5th gen with
banshee/clementine/rhythmbox.

As far as I could find out, they all rely on libgpod from gtkpod
project. This library states that support to ipod nano 5th gen was added
on 0.8 source code release. Debian wheezy version is 0.8.2 and so it
should work.

I found out some blog and forum posts stating similar problem: ipod is
recognized, music files can be added and removed, but after
disconnecting it, the music files are do not show up in the menus. Once
I got an error message stating some problem with SQLite database, but
not anymore.

Some people claim to have solved this issue connecting the ipod to an
iTunes to initialize it or generating some hash and writing it
to /Ipod_Control/Device/SysInfo. However this did now work for me, ipod
still remains unmanageable.

Firmware version is 1.0.2.

Does anyone have a clue to solving this issue? I am guessing the
firmware upgrade may have trashed the work of libgpod developers. That's
so apple style...

Thank you!
