Description of problem: Iphone 3GS is not mounted on Fedora 17 when connected via a standard USB cable. This is the same problem reported by BUG #815491 which is in status "CLOSED" but to me, should not be.When the Iphone is connected to the USB port it seems detected but then nothing else happens. I Cannot acces have to my pictures on my Iphone because the File manager does not see the Iphone File system. I'm using Xfce instead of Gnome3. Any Idea to help ? Thank you. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 17 kernel 3.6.8-2.fc17.x86_64 Xfce 4 usbmuxd usbmuxd-1.0.8-2.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1.install Fedora 17 with Xfce xdesktop 2.connect an Iphone 3GS IOS 5.1 to an USB port using a standard apple iphone cable 3.

Have you got ifuse installed. It works fine for a number of other iDevices and the 3GS isn't exactly new
(In reply to comment #1) > Have you got ifuse installed. It works fine for a number of other iDevices > and the 3GS isn't exactly new Hi Peter, Thank you for your help. Yes ifuse-1.1.2-1.fc17.x86_64 is installed. I also installed Gigolo which shows the iphone icon when it is plugged in, but then Gigolo gives a strange URI : afc://*** lot of digits ** for the Iphone. What does this mean ? It looks like there is no mount applet available with XFce desktop as there is one in Ubuntu / gnome . Nothing shows up on my desktop and I'm not able to browse my Iphone directories. In both cases ( Fedora and Ubuntu ) NetworkManager shows that there is an Apple Iphone on the Wired Network. After spending hours and hours searching the Internet I still don't have any fix. Norb.
got gvfs-afc installed? You shouldn't need any mount applet as it should just automount
(In reply to comment #3) > got gvfs-afc installed? You shouldn't need any mount applet as it should > just automount Yes, gvfs-afc-1.12.3-1.fc17.x86_64 is installed. There is something strange on my laptop , there is no eth0 network interface , I have a p35p1 interface instead ( ?? ). Here is the result on ip addr : 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: p35p1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 48:5b:39:24:bd:76 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 1c:4b:d6:a1:b8:de brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.35/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global wlan0 inet6 fe80::1e4b:d6ff:fea1:b8de/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever In fact I do not use my Ethernet connector at all since may laptop is connected via a wireless link . Does that matters ?? Another info I've found on the Internet is about thunar, here is the thing at http://www.uvena.de/gigolo/help.html "Open resources in Thunar on Xfce 4.4 and 4.6 By default, Gigolo uses gvfs-open to open the connected remote resources. On some systems this will either result in an error or open the wrong file manager because gvfs-open uses the mime types to determine which application it should launch and those mime types are often not configured properly. First, you need to install the gvfs-fuse backend for GVFS and fuse-utils so that gvfs mounts the remote resources in ~/.gvfs. Make sure that your user is in the fuse group or this will not work. " I tried to install gvfs-fuse and fuse-utils with yum , but it didn't find any of those !! and more : there is no fuse group in Fedora 17 ! Anyway thank you for your fast replies , and merry christmas to you. Norb.
The p35p1 is consistent network interface naming, it is as expected and fine. It won't have any effect what so ever. I have no idea above Xfce and I've only uses it a little. I suspect the issue is with how it deals with the load. It all seems fine to me from the libimobiledevice / usbmuxd PoV

I took my time and moved back to a Standard Fedora 17 with Gnome3 and desktop session gnome-fallback. Everything works fine,my Iphone is mounted and I can view or download my pictures from it. This is just fine to me. Anyway , thank you for your help! Regards, Norb.
Not a bug with the libimobiledevice components
