Notwithstanding anything else, you can always just mount the iPod and
copy all the files off of it, as in:
# mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/ipod
# cp -a /mnt/ipod /home/chris/ipod-backup-that-I-had-better-not-lose
or whatever. At least it would give you a backup. That assumes, of
course, that you've got enough GB free for the data.
That all said, I just plugged a friends iPod in that hadn't been
connected in well over a year and which had certainly been accessed with
a much earlier version of gtkpod; I was a tinsy bit worried, but it was
fine.
This wasn't on Ubuntu, mind.
