I upgraded to fedora 17 from a fresh install. On f16, I had an issue mounting when they had the issue with the lockdown, but I was able to resolve that. Seems like a different mounting issue is occurring, although this time, no error messages even pop up to give me an indication on where to begin. I believe I have all the necessary libraries (ifuse, gtkpod, libimobiledevice, gfvs, etc..)

relevant info from dmesg:

Per the bugzilla for this issue, there is a comment saying that the 1.0.8-2.fc17 has the fix in it. However, until this fix is pushed, you can fix it by editing: lib/udev/rules.d/85-usbmuxd.rules

and changing: OWNER="usbmux" to OWNER="usbmuxd"

and this solved it for me.

  • Don't crosspost: you posted the same question in [Super User](http://superuser.com/questions/431039/fedora-17-plugged-in-iphone-but-nothing-happens). – Renan May 31 '12 at 15:06
  • @Renan I felt this was a more appropriate forum. I did already go back a delete it though... – OnResolve May 31 '12 at 15:11
  • After you plug in the device does `dmesg` indicate that the system 'sees' the device? – Tim May 31 '12 at 15:49
  • @Tim It appears so-- for brevity sake, I tried to omit what didn't look related. – OnResolve May 31 '12 at 15:55
  • “nothing happens” like stated in your question is wrong, your dmesg output clearly shows that your iPhone has been detected. – Marco May 31 '12 at 15:57
  • @Marco Semantics I guess, but I'm sure you were able to piece together that I meant I'm unable to mount the device and no error messages appeared in a manner I'm equipped to find. – OnResolve May 31 '12 at 15:59
  • @OnResolve Your intended end result is you want to mount the storage? – Tim May 31 '12 at 16:55

    @Tim Yes, sorry I didn't make it more clear.I'm a not as strong in *nix environment as I'd like to be--but I was used to plugging my phone in and having it mounted automatically. – OnResolve May 31 '12 at 17:52

When the system is not verbose about attaching a new USB device, you can always check the output of dmesg to see if the attached new USB device being detected.

For accessing the storage on an IOS device, you will need the gtkpod-aac package (That is it's name in Debian/Ubuntu), other distros may use a different name.

See this TechRepublic article, has some good hints: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/how-do-i-connect-an-apple-ipod-to-an-ubuntu-linux-pc/217
