EUREKA (maybe) ! This evening I took the iPhone update to iOS 11.3, and just out of curiosity I decided to check out the iphone as an attached device in the file manager. And I'm in. I don't know why. I did not use idevicepair nor ifuse. If I run ideviceinfo, I still get "ERROR: Could not connect to lockdownd, error code -3".
In the file manager I found that clicking on a thumbnail gave me the photo. Messing around in the command line, a call to "df" suggested that I look at "/run/user/1000". Going there I found a current datestamp on its subdirectory "gvfs" and within that a sole item with robotic name "gphoto2:host=%5Busb%3A004%2C023%5D". Inside that there is a single directory "DCIM" (less than I used to see in iOS 10.3), but that has always been the place for photos. Within DCIM there are subdirectories "100CLOUD" and "100APPLE". I'm not sure what that's about, but the photos in the first are older and are all of size 3264x2448. During the time period for the photos in 100CLOUD, I changed to a new phone, but the latest photos in there were taken on the new phone. In 100APPLE the photos are all of size 4032x3024. I'm guessing that usb infra-structure invoked some gphoto infra- structure, and that libimobiledevice is not in the picture, but I don't know. And for the moment I'm guessing that Apple has cleaned up its act with iOS 11.3. My Ubuntu is 16.04.4 LTS, and I'm running the Mate evolute of classic gnome. In the Mate GUI connecting the phone to a usb port causes an icon to appear on my desktop. A right click on that icon gives me an unmount option that I used before disconnecting the phone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libimobiledevice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1718554 Title: Need updated libimobiledevice to mount IOS 11 devices Status in libimobiledevice package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: After upgrading to IOS 11, I stopped being able to mount my ipad in ubuntu.
