Public bug reported:
Not sure whether this is a duplicate of #940556 ?
I'm running Ubuntu 13.04, which was a new installation (not an upgrade) on my
laptop.
I have a 3rd generation iPod touch, freshly reset to factory state in iTunes so
no music on it yet.
My music library in rhythmbox has a couple hundred CDs that I imported to flac
files on a SMB share (NAS drive), which I can play okay within rhythmbox.
I enabled the iPod plugin in rhythmbox and plugged in the iPod; a few
new icons appear in nautilus and in the launcher bar - "Documents on
Peter's iPod", "Peter's iPod" and "iPod" (those first two show some
cryptic afc://... URL when I hover over them, the last shows
"mtp://[usb:001,002]/") In rhythmbox I saw "Peter's iPod" appear under
Devices, so I right-clicked on it and selected Properties. The first
thing I noticed in the properties window was it gave the name as "iPod
touch" rather than "Peter's iPod", which was the default name I saw in
the iPod's own settings before I changed it, don't know if that makes
any difference. Then I went into the Sync properties and ticked (only)
the new "For Peter" playlist that I'd created with a few dozen tracks.
I noticed on the Advanced tab it gives the supported Audio Formats as
"MPEG Layer 3 Audio" and "MPEG 4 Audio" - am I right in expecting that
rhythmbox will convert the flac files to one of these while copying them
over?
Unfortunately, it didn't get that far - after closing the window I
right-clicked the device and selected Sync with Library. The window
dimmed, stayed like that for a minute or more, then vanished. According
to "ps" the process has gone; I tried running rhythmbox from the shell
and did the same, at the point it disappears there's a "Segmentation
fault (core dumped)" message output.
I'm happy to generate any debug/trace output needed, if someone can tell
me what they need me to do. I don't know if the problem is with the
iPod syncing, flac->mp3 conversion, use of SMB (I had problems with
gvfs-smb crashing in earlier ubuntu versions), or something else
entirely...
