This is for Ubuntu Studio 20.04.4; too many things going on right now to
upgrade.
For reasons I don't pretend to understand mounting the iPhone as a USB
device and opening File Managers works sporadically but frequently. At
this point it is not working.
The workaround was to use "ifuse" and "libimobiledevice" instead. The
former was already installed, the latter had to be installed with "sudo
apt install libimobiledevice".
Once this was accomplished I executed the following as suggested by
AskUbuntu:
idevicepair validate
If a SUCCESS message does not result execute
idevicepair pair
and get that message.
Then execute
fusermount -u ~/pics && ifuse ~/pics
and the iPhone will be mounted. Quite a bit more is visible than is
usual; the images were found in
/home/<User ID>/pics/DCIM/107APPLE/
If you execute
fusermount -u ~/pics
the iPhone is unmounted or to both unmount and remove the "pics"
directory execute
fusermount -u ~/pics && rmdir ~/pics
Most of this is copied straight out of the AskUbuntu comment labeled
"Historical Workaround".
