Public bug reported:
1) System: Ubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety" 64-bit
2) Package: libimobiledevice6 (Source: libimobiledevice) Version: 1.2.0
+dfsg-3ubuntu1
3) What is expected: When an idevice (iPhone, iPad, etc.) is connected
via a USB port, first a "Trust / Don't Trust" prompt appears on the
idevice, and after selecting "Trust", either a prompt appears on the
computer asking the user what to do and/or a nautilus window opens to
show accessible contents of the device, e.g. photos and/or videos taken
by its camera.
4) What happens: It looks as if everything is in order, but the nautilus
window opened is empty! In other words, system cannot access the device
properly and show the contents of the appropriate folder.
After upgrading from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 16.10 (personally had to do a fresh
install after persistent system upgrade problems), it's no longer possible to
transfer photos from iPhone or iPad.
The Tust prompt appears with audio echoed, probably as a result of
"double (or even triple) connection":
1 - It seems the idevice begins charging successfully as everything
looks OK in the power indicator.
2- Nautilus seems fully aware of the idevice displaying everything as
normal, even opening a folder window seen normally, but it just cannot
show the actual location including the photos.
3- I think somehow the idevice is also detected as an ethernet thing.
I tried a recommended solution using ifuse, which required these
packages: ideviceinstaller python-imobiledevice libimobiledevice-utils
libimobiledevice6 libplist3 python-plist ifuse
I properly implemented the required configuration, but the ifuse command
merely resulted in this error message:
GnuTLS error: Error in the pull function.
Failed to connect to lockdownd service on the device.
Try again. If it still fails try rebooting your device.
So I thought probably the new libimobiledevice package went back to an
earlier state on this where Apple's "Trust / Don't Trust" prompt cannot
be handled properly.
