Unable to mount iPhone
I'm running Knoppix 6.7 off a 4GB USB stick on an Acer Aspire 5520 laptop. My iPhone is a 3GS on iOS 5.1.1, jailbroken. On connecting the phone via USB it is recognised by File Manager, but I get error report 'Unhandled Lockdown error (-4)' Below is Terminal output:
Code:
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ lsusb | grep Apple Bus 002 Device 005: ID 05ac:1294 Apple, Inc. iPhone 3GS
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo mkdir /media/iPhone
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo ifuse /media/iPhone/ -s Failed to connect to lockdownd service on the device. Try again.
If it still fails try rebooting your device. knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ I think I'm missing a fundamental step or is this an iOS constraint? Can someone here help me to connect this device? All I need to do is manipulate audio and photos

So 4 days later I'm still struggling with this. I'm a Linux noob so I can understand if this is such a basic question that nobody can be bothered to answer. Or is it really so difficult that nobody can assist me?
I've posted this same query to http://libiphone.lighthouseapp.com/p...connect-iphone, and no luck, seems Apple keeps changing things with new releases of iOS.

Greetings, dataworx22!
In the wiki at debian.org http://wiki.debian.org/iPhone you can read that you should upgrade your libimobiledevice.
If your iPhone has a recent version of iOS (5 or later? Maybe 4.3? 4.2.1?) then you will need libimobiledevice 1.1.1 or later, available in Wheezy. Squeeze has libimobiledevice 1.0.2, which will not work with recent versions of iOS.
I hope that helps.

Greetings and salutations klaus 2008
That wiki page is most enlightening.
So currently I have installed: libimobiledevice-utils, libimobiledevice2 v 1.1.1-4, gvfs-backends, gvfs-bin, gvfs-fuse, and ifuse.
Also edited /etc/fuse.conf as instructed and verified that user knoppix is a member of the fuse group.
The iPhone shows up in File Manager, any attempt to mount it is still met with 'Unhandled Lockdown error (-4)'.
It seems I may have to configure the phone itself?

sudo ifuse /media/iPhone/ -s
What is the meaning of the option '-s'?
If you issue you should get
Usage: ifuse <mount_point> [OPTIONS]
Mount filesystem of an iPhone/iPod Touch.
-o opt,[opt...] mount options
-u, --uuid UUID mount specific device by its 40-digit device UUID
-h, --help print usage information
-V, --version print version
--root mount root file system (jailbroken device required)
--debug enable libimobiledevice communication debugging
Example:
$ ifuse /media/iPhone --root
This mounts the root filesystem of the first attached device on
this computer in the directory /media/iPhone.

What is the meaning of the option '-s'?
I copied the instruction from this site - see comment from forumite Helge.
http://www.ghabuntu.com/2009/09/ifus...-touch-in.html
I see from the help above that -s is not a known/valid switch, so I tried:
sudo ifuse /media/iPhone --root
which returned
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo ifuse /media/iPhone --root
Failed to connect to lockdownd service on the device.
Try again. If it still fails try rebooting your device.

There are people who advise to issue the following commands after having connected the iPhone.
Code:
idevicepair unpair
idevicepair pair
idevicepair validate
Does this solve the issue or do you still receive the same (or a new) error message?

Hi Klaus, thanks again for taking the time to help with this. I've previously tried the pair/unpair commands, this is the output:
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ idevicepair unpair
QueryType failed, error code -256
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ idevicepair pair
QueryType failed, error code -256
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ idevicepair validate
QueryType failed, error code -256

There are two more commands you could try out.
Code:
idevice_id -l
ideviceinfo
Maybe you should update your bug report at http://libiphone.lighthouseapp.com Tell them that you upgraded the libraries and still cannot connect.
-
"idevice_id -l" returns the iPhone's UUID, and "ideviceinfo -s" returns general info
"ideviceinfo" does nothing
I'll update my bug report as you suggest. Thanks Klaus
