iPhone 3GS does not appear on Ubuntu 10.04

Reported by gab1to | May 5th, 2010 @ 11:27 PM

Ok, Ubuntu 10.04 it's supposed to give support to iPhone 3GS out of the box. Well not in my case. I used to sync my iPhone in Ubuntu 9.10 with this guide: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/easy-way-to-sync-your-iphone-with.html.
It was working perfectly until I upgraded.
Now when I connect the iPhone it beeps twice and it doesn't show on the desktop. I can't even mount it.
Well I thought it was because I upgraded so I did a fresh install. After a fresh install BOOM, the same problem.
So I tried to follow the same guide and theres no way I cant mount it. Here are some details:

iPhone firmware : 3.1
Jailbreak

libimobiledevice.so.0 => /usr/lib/libimobiledevice.so.0 (0x00427000)

If I try using iFuse this is what I get:
$ ifuse /mnt/ipod usbmuxd_get_device_list: error opening socket!
No device found, is it connected?
If it is make sure that your user has permissions to access the raw usb device.
If you're still having issues try unplugging the device and reconnecting it.

This is getting me crazy, I really want your help. Please help me. Thx

    • State changed from “new” to “open”

    Please disconnect the device, kill all usbmuxd instances and run "sudo usbmuxd -f -v".
    Then connect your device and post the output here.

    • State changed from “open” to “invalid”
    • Assigned user set to “Martin S.”

    Ok, I just noticed what is wrong. Your USB product id is totally screwed: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05ac:7777 Apple, Inc.

    This is a change from the "USB Drive" tool available from Cydia which sets the product id to 7777 after a reboot to emulate a mass storage device interface.
    In this mode neither iTunes nor libimobiledevice are able to communicate with the device.

    Thus marking the bug as invalid.

    Please fix your device product id by changing to "default mode" using the "USB Drive" software from Cydia then things will work again.
    If this is not the cause of your issue feel free to reopen the bug and supply more information about your device that can lead to understand why it has a product id of 7777.

    Awesome, thx for the help. I completely forgot about that. I use an app called USB drive in Cydia and change this setting and I completely forgot about that. Now I can sync my iPhone like before.

    And yes, thx for marking this invalid.

    I'm having a similar problem...

    After upgrading, I get this message when trying to copy music to my iPhone, running 3.1.2 firmware...

    "Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: The name :1.163 was not provided by any .service files"

    I tried the solution above, but it did not work for me since I don't use "USB Drive".
