This still happens in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: My wife got a brand new Apple iPod nano touch as a birthday present.
Rhythmbox says when trying to initialize the device: "Unsupported checksum type".  
The device is visible though and it is possible to browse the directory structure in file manager.
Is there any known workaround to copy the music files from her Ubuntu computer onto the iPod?

Title:
  Unable to initialize new Ipod, unsupported checksum type

Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Description: Ubuntu 11.04
  Release: 11.04
  Version:  0.13.3-0ubuntu6 (rhythmbox).

  3) I plugged in my iPod and selected rythmbox as the program to open it in.
  It asked me to initialize the iPod.  I selected the model: Nano Touch (6th generation) -> 8GB Green
  Put in a random name 'Apod' and clicked Initialize

  At this point I assumed it would initialize and then let me put music
  on it.

  4) It produced the error box: Unable to initialize new iPod   Unspported checksum type
  After this the iPod shows up and it can be synched (there is an error with a few of the file formats which won't be added).
  When I look through the iPod it shows no music, but when I look in rhythmbox it shows the 2.1Gb of music added.
