Got UMSboot r859 on iPod screen. Ran sudo fdisk -l but got 'Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 doesn't contain a valid partition table'. Can you help? [13:15:20] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 64 bit by the way. [13:16:49] Leaving Terminal open to hang on to details, and iPod at UMSboot, so I am ready to try whatever is suggested. Thanks in advance. [13:57:45] Just noticed at the bottom of the iPod screen it says (in tiny letters!) Loading UBI file.... No UBI file found! [13:58:56] I think that is the .Rockbox zip file, whic h I have in tmp, when i try to move it to Home or Desktop, it doesn't appear, tho it appears to copy OK. [14:07:23] oh and the device isn't showing up on Files [15:08:28] now got as far as mount but got: [15:08:31] musty@musty-HP-xw6600-Workstation:~/Rockbox$ sudo mount /dev/sdG: /media/disk mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdG:, missing codepage or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount. helper program) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [15:14:23] and Fdisk returns 'Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512)' [15:40:14] Musty: can you paste the output of ls /dev/sd* [15:44:58] I'll try! Thanks. [15:45:42] Here you go: [15:46:15] it wont paste. must have special chars [15:46:21] I'll try again [15:53:27] Musty: use http://pastie.org/ [15:56:45] still wont return anything pasted [15:56:50] working on it [15:57:36] line 1 is: /dev/sda /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdg [15:57:59] line 2 is:/dev/sda1 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc5 [15:58:26] discovered can't paste or type anything here that starts with a / [16:03:06] yes, it is interpreted as an IRC command [16:03:31] sdg looks like the ipod [16:03:38] ah. Haven't used IRC for a couple of decades! [16:03:46] try: fdisk -l /dev/sdg [16:04:18] ok thanks. I'll let you know. I did a full recovery using iTunes on a Win7 laptop first. [16:04:25] also: mkdir /tmp/ipod; mount -t vfat /dev/sdg /tmp/ipod [16:05:04] says Cannot open /dev/sdg [16:05:55] device not showing in Files [16:09:46] the mkdir and mount commands worked (ie returned nothing) but fdisk still returns the same error. [16:10:44] should I recover the iPoad again using iTunes maybe? [16:12:20] iPoad???? iPod!
