iPhone 3G won't pair under VMware

#177

Hi,

I run a Debian unstable/experimental under VMware and the iPhone won't pair (works fine on a standalone Debian though).

Here's the dmesg output:

[ 4745.580887] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 [ 4745.742591] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=1292 [ 4745.742633] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 4745.742700] usb 1-1: Product: iPhone [ 4745.742736] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.

/usr/bin/idevicepair pair

No device found, is it plugged in?

/lib/udev/ipheth-pair

/lib/udev/ipheth-pair: -3: cannot get default device #

~# dpkg --list | grep iPhone ii ifuse 1.0.0-1 FUSE module for iPhone and iPod Touch devices

I know this may not be a priority, but I thought it would be nice to fix.

Best,

    While we don't fix VMWare USB issues, please provide information about your host system and vmware software, perhaps we could test this.

    No information provided. We also tested a recent libimobiledevice within a VMware VM just fine thus closing this ticket.
    If you should still encounter this issue please feel free to reopen.
