Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Every time I connect my iPod I'm greeted with a prompt stating:
"Do you want to initialize your iPod?
Rhythmbox has detected a device that is probably an uninitialised or
corrupted iPod. It must be initialised before Rhythmbox can use it, but
this will destroy any song metadata already present. If you wish
Rhythmbox to initialise the iPod, please fill in the information below.
If the device is not an iPod, or you do not wish to initialise it,
please click cancel."
The ironic bit is that while this prompt is present Rhythmbox proceeds
to play audio from the iPod without issue.
I have added an ext3 partition to the iPod, but this partition has been
present during the iPod's use with previous releases and never caused a
problem such as this.
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
