Since updating Ubuntu to Intrepid, I’ve been having issues with Amarok and my iPod. Mostly Amarok has not been ejecting the iPod correctly. Seems the old post-disconnect command, kdeeject, isn’t in the new release. After a little bit of research and troubleshooting, I found the new, correct command.
umount %m && eject /dev/sdc2
This unmounts and ejects the iPod without errors. The %m refers to the mount point. For some reason using eject %d (%d for device) in the Amarok post-eject command ejected my DVD drive!
To determine the device node, I used gnome-eject --display-settings -p /media/IPOD
which among other things, told me this:
Resolved pseudonym "/media/IPOD" -> /dev/sdc2
