Thanks for all your help. I got another piece of information from Amain on this
blog:
http://blog.zoomeren.nl/2009/03/24/mount-iphone-in-linux-using-usb-ifuse-libiphone/comment-page-1/#comment-44
I ran strace and found out that the problem is that my user doesn't have access
to the raw usb device. Here's a copy of a few lines of the strace output:
open(”/dev/bus/usb/006/002″, O_RDWR) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
open(”/dev/bus/usb/006/002″, O_RDONLY) = 3
ioctl(3, USBDEVFS_IOCTL, 0xbfa67610) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
close(3) = 0
open(”/dev/bus/usb/006/001″, O_RDWR) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
open(”/dev/bus/usb/006/001″, O_RDONLY) = 3
ioctl(3, USBDEVFS_IOCTL, 0xbfa67610) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
close(3)
Another thing Amain pointed me out is that his usb devices have the following
ownerships:
ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/003
crw-rw-r–+ 1 root plugdev 189, 2 2009-07-24 22:21 /dev/bus/usb/001/003
And his user belongs to the plugdev group. As I posted last time.. my devices
belong to root root... could this be the problem? Any ideas? Thanks a lot for
your effort
