[02:43:34] *** Quits: vipvsp (5363111f@gateway/web/freenode/ip.83.99.17.31) (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [04:58:38] *** Joins: joshuasm32 (~joshuasm3@cpe-67-49-188-187.hawaii.res.rr.com) [04:59:10] I downloaded ipoddfu.py, libipoddfu.py, and bootstrap-ipodclassic.dfu from there official sources, then placed them in the folder "EmCORE" in my downloads (Linux). [04:59:12] What now? [04:59:25] Is there a specific directory where I should place them? [04:59:52] The following command: [04:59:52] sudo python ipoddfu.py bootstrap-ipodclassic-*.dfu [05:00:10] Results in: [05:00:12] python: can't open file 'ipoddfu.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory [05:00:23] [Saint] [05:01:12] <[Saint]> err, sec. just catching up. [05:01:20] <[Saint]> is libusb-dev installed? [05:01:27] -deb? [05:01:34] *-dev? [05:01:40] I got libusb [05:01:50] <[Saint]> *-dev, yes. [05:02:21] Now installing [05:02:33] Do I need to place the files in a specific location? :/ [05:02:47] <[Saint]> No. Have you installed pyusb, as well? [05:02:54] yes [05:03:08] python-usb, yes? [05:03:25] <[Saint]> no, pyusb. [05:03:39] <[Saint]> "Make sure that you have python 2.6 or newer, libusb and pyusb >=1.0.0a0 installed" [05:03:44] Is this in my package manager? [05:03:46] I saw that. [05:03:52] <[Saint]> It links to it directly. [05:04:01] Ok. [05:04:02] Sorry. [05:04:26] <[Saint]> After extracting the archnice, you need to run setup.py, located therein. [05:04:39] ok. [05:04:42] <[Saint]> archnice? the fuck? screw you autocomplete... [05:04:44] <[Saint]> *archive [05:04:46] Thank you. :) [05:07:22] Does setup.py have a GUI, or does simply "Running" it install it? [05:08:49] <[Saint]> sudo python setup.py install [05:08:55] <[Saint]> as per the README [05:11:18] running install [05:11:18] running build [05:11:18] running build_py [05:11:18] error: package directory 'usb' does not exist [05:11:47] When installing pyusb [05:12:24] <[Saint]> are you in the pyusb-1.* directory, or outside it? [05:12:35] ? [05:12:53] <[Saint]> cd to the extracted pyusb directory. [05:12:55] setup.py is located in : /home/joshuasm32/Downloads/pyusb-1.0.0b2/setup.py [05:13:06] <[Saint]> right, cd there. [05:13:20] ? [05:13:29] I am using the following command: sudo python /home/joshuasm32/Downloads/pyusb-1.0.0b2/setup.py install [05:14:15] <[Saint]> "cd ~/Downloads/pyusb-1.0.0b2 && sudo python setup.py install" [05:14:41] thank you [05:15:17] Do I now exit this cd? [05:15:33] And enter the other cd of my ipod install files? [05:15:40] <[Saint]> if you wish. [05:15:48] I mean, to install it. [05:16:07] <[Saint]> Its not necessary, but you can if you want to. [05:16:23] python: can't open file 'ipoddfu.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory [05:16:45] When running: sudo python ipoddfu.py bootstrap-ipodclassic-*.dfu [05:17:26] <[Saint]> If you're not in the sane directory where those files reside, you'll need to specify exact paths. [05:17:29] <[Saint]> *same [05:18:11] Wow! [05:18:13] It worked! [05:18:43] I'm really exited. [05:20:28] Nice. [05:20:30] Next step [05:21:21] Really chatty sry [05:21:45] <[Saint]> No problem. A lot of people get fairly excited if this is their first time dealing with such things. [05:26:31] Well usually, nothing works for me. [05:26:36] I have done many projects like this. [05:26:42] Murphy's law, I guess [05:26:50] Just happy something is working [05:39:12] It worked 100%, thanks.

I killed necessary processes, launched bootstrap_ipodclassic_itunes.exe and got a message on my iPod: "UMSboot v0.2.1 Please copy a UBI file to the mass storage..." [11:54:22] <[Saint]> Are you perhaps using a USB3 port? [11:54:40] <[Saint]> If so, try...not. [11:55:54] First I was trying to do this via a USB 3 port on my Win8.1 laptop, but then I switched to 2.1 (2.0?) port on the front panel of my desktop. [11:56:43] <[Saint]> Front panel USB ports are also renowned for being generally unreliable, but, the real issue in this instance is primarily related to the clusterfuck that is Windows. [11:58:13] Hm. I'll give one of the rear panel USBs a go then (fingers crossed) Thanks =) [12:01:29] <[Saint]> The linus installation is a LOT more robust. [12:01:54] <[Saint]> Windows installation is a massive clusterfuck based on miracles and magic. [12:03:20] Miracles do exist, though -- using a rear panel USB let my PC see the drive, thanks again for the quick response =) [12:04:09] <[Saint]> No problem. Just remember to follow the steps given regarding ejecting. [12:04:33] <[Saint]> Don't just yank the disk, and don't use the system tray eject icon. [12:04:44] Will do =) [12:05:17] <[Saint]> Sorry. That's just one of the things people yell at us about and claim it doesn't work. [12:05:36] <[Saint]> Happens All. The. Time. lol [12:31:09] And it worked! You are awesome =) I'm gonna go someplace secluded and perform my dance of celebration now. With Grados atop my head and a rockboxed iPod in my pocket. [12:32:55] <[Saint]> Hah. Not a problem. [12:33:13] <[Saint]> Now you can kiss that almight great steaming pile of shit iTunes goodbye. [12:33:27] <[Saint]> Or, any media management software, for that matter. [12:34:47] <[Saint]> werbliben: pro-tip - the Classic doesn't have a manual, because its unsupported by Rockbox officially, but you can use the iPod Video manual [12:34:48] <[Saint]> http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo.pdf [12:35:07] <[Saint]> Everything in it will be largely correct. [12:35:24] <[Saint]> It will simply refer to a few features not present (yet) on the Classic. [12:35:56] <[Saint]> Virtually nothing about Rockbox is intuitive or obvious. [12:36:03] <[Saint]> I highly advice reading the manual. [12:51:07] Thanks, that is quite useful (near 250 pages, omg)! [12:51:54] Resistor calculator, really?! [12:53:59] I should probably expect this thing to be able to hack Pentagon servers as well =) [12:55:50] <[Saint]> No network stack. ;) [14:25:32] *** Quits: [Saint] (~saint@rockbox/staff/saint) (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [14:26:28] *** Joins: [Saint] (~saint@rockbox/staff/saint) [16:37:53] *** Quits: krnlyng (~liar@83.175.90.24) (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [16:43:25] *** Joins: krnlyng (~liar@83.175.90.24) [18:34:10] *** Quits: werbliben (9e2569c4@gateway/web/freenode/ip.158.37.105.196) (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
