iPod on LMDE

[aybro]

I recently found a tutorial on how to get LMDE to recognize my iPod on LMDE here....http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... =64033...I followed the instructions and after apt-get update I got errors...

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.


So I went to the index of http://ppa.launchpad.net/ and sure enough these pages do not exist...

So the tutorial that I have tried before and again today is locked. It is giving false hope to anyone who wants to get their iPod working with LMDE....Can or will someone either add the files required or pull the page down that refers to them?


Thanks for your reply,aybro

There doesnt seem to be a repository at http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu saucy main........ The tutorial says to go to....... http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/u ... elease.gpg


........for the gpg key...How about....

http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/u ... iledevice/

1. PPA's are not compatible with lmde, remove it from the sources.list.

2. this particular PPA is dead:
- last activity:

ipheth 162 weeks ago
Successfully built

- last ubuntu release supported: natty Obsolete since October 2012
https://launchpad.net/~pmcenery/+archiv ... lter=natty

[aybro]

If that ppa is dead, then I still request what I requested in the first part of these posts. The link following refers to these "Dead PPA'S" and needs to be modified or eliminated...

that topic is locked for ages and

Board index ‹ Other Edition Support ‹ LMDE (Linux Mint Debian) ‹ Archive

should be a giveaway

So the next poor fool and newb that comes along has to spend hours of research and effort,not to mention the responses by the Mint community and it starts all over? Thats like bumping your head on a wall when and liking it. Doing the wrong thing over and over again will always result the same.
