$ uname -a
Linux ray-desktop 5.13.0-41-generic #46~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 20 13:16:21 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The USB mount of an iPhone-8 (15.6.1) no longer shows up.

When I plug it in, the iPhone buzzes appropriately, and this shows up on the Ubuntu system:

$ sudo journalctl --follow

But there's no obvious mount anywhere (e.g. df, mount, or the Files GUI).

This was working fine a few weeks ago.

  • I do not need ppa anymore as Ubuntu has drivers. https://askubuntu.com/questions/909988/i-connect-my-iphone-5-ios-10-3-1-but-my-ubuntu-16-04-doesnt-seem-to-detect-it/910094#910094 – oldfred Aug 27 '22 at 19:48
  • @oldfred, that answer hangs at idevicepair pair. And it doesn't explain why it stopped working when it was okay a few weeks ago. – Ray Butterworth Aug 27 '22 at 21:18
  • What OS/release are you using; you've only said you're using the 5.13 kernel. No supported release of Ubuntu uses that kernel, so are you using Ubuntu ? – guiverc Aug 27 '22 at 22:33
  • Did you unlock iphone? Mine usually says I have to do that. Then phone says "trust". – oldfred Aug 27 '22 at 22:34
  • Ubuntu 21.10 (along with all flavors) is End-of-Life and thus unsupported on this site (https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic), and many other Ubuntu sites, unless your question is specific to moving to a supported release of Ubuntu. https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2022/07/19/ubuntu-21-10-impish-indri-end-of-life-reached-on-july-14-2022/ – guiverc Aug 27 '22 at 22:35
  • @guiverc, it's not 21.10, it's 20.04 (fully updated), as indicated by the uname output. – Ray Butterworth Aug 27 '22 at 22:49
  • Unplug your iPhone. ls -l /dev >a. Watch sudo journalctl --follow as you plug in the iPhone. ^C to exit journalctl. ls -l /dev >b;diff a b should give you enough information to solve the problem. – waltinator Aug 27 '22 at 22:50
  • @oldfred, if by "unlock" you mean I entered the pass-code to enter it, yes I did. As I said, this used to work, but now it doesn't, but nothing is giving any error messages. – Ray Butterworth Aug 27 '22 at 22:51
  • A fully upgraded 20.04 system will use the 5.4 kernel if using GA, or 5.15 if using HWE. 5.13 was from 21.10 & was replaced with the 5.15 kernel on 20.04 systems before 21.10 reached EOL (or within a week for some cloud users using non-standard kernels), so if using 20.04 your system is behind on upgrades (you should be using 20.04.5 with upgrades fully rolled out now, but they started rolling out just prior to 21.10's EOL!) Your uname proves you're not using an upgraded system. – guiverc Aug 27 '22 at 22:52
  • A 20.04 system upgraded is using linux-generic-hwe-20.04 | 5.15.0.46.49~20.04.16 | focal-updates | amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x where using the HWE kernel stack. – guiverc Aug 27 '22 at 22:55
  • @guiverc, sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade produces "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded". — "Your uname proves you're not using an upgraded system." — so what do I need to do to use an upgraded system? – Ray Butterworth Aug 27 '22 at 22:58
  • Your details fit a Ubuntu 20.04 based system such as Linux Mint, but not a Ubuntu 20.04 LTS system that has correct sources (read the output of sudo apt update and check for missing lines, or check your sources; myself I find checking sources easier). When did you last perform sudo apt full-upgrade as apt upgrade has limitations on what it can install as is documented (ie. man apt & search for full-upgrade and it'll tell you it performs upgrade without the limitations on upgrade)... Your provided details don't match 20.04 for an updated source. – guiverc Aug 27 '22 at 23:01
  • @waltinator, the diff showed only changed timestamps on char, ptmx, chsm, and tty. ¶ I've included the journalctl output in the question. – Ray Butterworth Aug 27 '22 at 23:08
  • @guiverc, sudo apt full-upgrade says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.". – Ray Butterworth Aug 27 '22 at 23:09
