From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey Linux community. I have an ipod and I'm trying to put music on it. Itunes simply will not run and it won't recognise stuff I put on it through files. Is there any thing I can try/use? Information: Linux type: Linux Mint Cinnamon Ipod type: 1.1.2 PC, Ipod Nano, 7th Gen

Unable to connect to internet.

Can you check the device manager inside Windows for this:

Uninstall the "Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter" in the device manager, after that, simply search for new hardware devices.

Even if you cannot connect to internet (normally that shouldn't be a problem since VM use the internet through host machine), you can still download the said iTunes outside of the VM and install it via shared folder. In the end you don't need internet to put iPod some music.
