first off ... i am running debian 3.1 "sarge", 2.6 kernel, and i am running vmware workstation 5
okay. so i have given up on gtkpod and rhythmbox. i have a 4gb ipod mini. i installed itunes on my windows xp vmware machine ... i set it to automatically connect all my usb devices ... so i can "use" my ipod ... well i get this error message when i plug it in:
"The specified device appears to be claimed by another driver (usb-storage) on the host operating system which means that the device may be in use. VMware Workstation cannot safely take control of the device until the host driver is unloaded."
i am stilling trying to figure things out when it comes to linux ... and i am stumped i dont know how to fix this. any help would be great. if you have any suggestions on using my ipod without vmware would be helpful too.
thanks
