i instlaled linux and it broke my ipod min (4gb).
I cant fix it either, all i see is the apple logo and i cant turn my ipod off or anything.
And when i connect it to my computer it is not detected.
Can someone please tell me what should i do to fix this ipod mini

How did you (note: you broke your iPod, not Linux) break the iPod? Did you try to install Linux on it? Connect it to a Linux system without proper drivers? Drop it? What happened?

Lame to blame linux for screwing up your IPod. very lame...
It is your own responsability that you broke your IPod.
What did you wanted to do?
What happend?
What distro do you use?
etc..
etc..
You're very short sighted.

Try holding "Menu"+"Select" or "Menu"+"Play" for a few seconds (5 - 15) that should reset your IPOD.

Did you install Linux on your PC or your IPOD, as for installing it on your PC I can only repeat what distribution are you using ... (RH, SuSe, etc)

Ken...

I hate to get off topic, but I since you have your e-mail address hidden I see no other way to contact you.

Please change your sig. It has been reported as offensive by other users.

Thanks,

John

Thanks John, I was just getting ready to complain.

I was also going to speculate that perhaps we have a troll here. Monitor this guy.

To "Ken" -- Please capitalize, this is a forum NOT a f'g chat room. If you don't think it's necessary, read Raymond's ("ESR") How To Ask Questions The Smart Way. On second thought, read it anyway. I'm sorry, I agree that your Q is lame -- I wouldn't be here except to report your double posting.

If you think we are coming down on you too hard, read ESR's section: On Not Reacting Like A Loser.

yeah, lame signature. i bet that mod chip broke your playstation too...?

Ken, let me run this by you ...

you entered a world that is dominated by certain rules of communication, a protocol if you like.
In here we do not care about race, creed, colour or sex;
We try to form our questions in a clear cut informative and no matter how urgent, polite way.

And especially what annoys most of us, is whining - almost every computer prof. - be it Operator, Developer or simply a "geek" gets enough of that from everyday "(l)user".

See the hardware as a simple entity that doesn't do anything, except what the user tells it to do ...
if you run rm -rf / as root, don't blame the "evil, evil" OS for deleting all your files.

Some lines above I told you that we did not care about race etc - there is one thing which we do care about, strongly in fact, that is discriminating || offensive remark - 'specially if the border on racist remarks.

With this in mind and the telling off that you received by the other members in the forum,
would you like to:

a) like to clearly rephrase your post, so in due course the community may be able to help you,
and
b) change your signature and display the respect that becomes every member in this community.

Seems he wasn't really interested anyway.......

On that note... Closed.
