Deleting the newly created user/group 'usbmux', and then renaming 'usbmuxd' -> 'usbmux' seems to "make this all work again".... Wouldn't it be much more easier to add the user usbmuxd and change the udev-rules in /lib/udev/rules.d/85-usbmuxd.rules? The current problem (it least in F13 as of now) is that we try to run usbmuxd as user "usbmux", which can be corrected easily: [snip]... RUN+="/usr/sbin/usbmuxd -u -U usbmuxd" ...[/snip] This would not lead to renaming the user to "usbmux" when the package itself is called "usbmuxd". Note that we currently state in the release notes that we support iPod/iPhone in F13 out of the box, but this bug prevents the average user to be able use it, so we may want to get this fixed as fast as possible. I have been applying a patch to the udev rules for the user. The reason for the usbmuxd user is that its the same as the packge and daemon. I have it on my list to investigate further but I've had other release issues taking up my time. Fixed in usbmuxd 1.0.4-3 I replaced the patch with some sed lines, so this is unlikely to happen in the future :) Updates are trickling in for F-11, F-12 and F-13 as well. Probably OK, but on my system where I had deleted the usbmuxd user/group, and added a usbmux user/group, the package update "failed": Updating : usbmuxd-1.0.4-3.fc14.x86_64 25/64 useradd: group 'usbmuxd' does not exist Updating : 1:openoffice.org-math-3.2.1-19.2.fc14.x86_64 26/64 and subsequent "plugging in" of an iPhone got confused: May 28 06:35:02 tlondon kernel: usb 2-2: Product: iPhone May 28 06:35:02 tlondon kernel: usb 2-2: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.

Is this just an aberrant case? Well, if you fiddle with it like that, it breaks. You're not really supposed to rename the usbmuxd user, especially not without changing is gid/uid. *** Bug 596972 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 597320 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 597748 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 597824 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
