[SOLVED] Mounting an iPhone with firmware 2.0 or higher under 'buntu

[fululian]

Hullo,

I couldn't find a solution to this rather simple question - how do I mount my iPhone with firmware 2.0 unter ubuntu? When put into the USB-plug, it will charge, it is reachable under SSH, and a window will pop up asking if I would like to import any fotos. But the iPhone will not show up under /media whatever. The "official" way on the canonical sites tells us that you cannot sync with firmware 2.0 or higher, but that you may mount the device. But it doesn't. If I punch in

iphone-mount

the terminal tells me

fululian@fmtowns:~$ iphone-mount
touch: can't touch „/media/iphone/test“: Permission denied
Unable to write to /media/iphone. Please adjust permissions and try again.


-what do I do with this? How can I adjust the permissions?

Thanks a lot.

How can I adjust the permissions?
sudo

[fululian]

No. But thanks nevertheless.

In this case, a simple


sudo chmod 777 /media/iphone

did the trick - supposing you joined the group "fuse", which I never heard of up to this day.

Bye bye

if you want to run virtual machine for xp in virtual box.. I foud this and it works for syncing with itunes in virtual box.

I was able to get my iPhone to sync. My setup:

Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)
VirtualBox 2.0.2 (http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.0.2/virtualbox-2.0_2.0.2-36488_Ubuntu_hardy_i386.deb)
iPhone 3G (Software version 2.1)

I followed the steps mentioned in the thread on the virtualbox website

In particular, I did this:

sudo apt-get build-dep linux-source-2.6.24
sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.24 build-essential
tar -jxvf /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24.tar.bz2
cd linux-source-2.6.24/drivers/usb/core
perl -pi.bak -e 's/16384/131072/' devio.c
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ M=`pwd` modules
strip --strip-debug usbcore.ko
sudo install -m644 -b usbcore.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/core
sudo depmod -ae
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo reboot
