Unable to start usbmuxd, "Could not open lockfile"
We are trying to install libimobiledevice library on Ubuntu
11.04.
However, it seems it is not able to start usbmuxd.
It shows "Could not open lockfile" while trying to restart
usbmuxd.
The version inforation is as below:
libimobiledevice 1.1.0
Ubuntu 11.04 with VMWare workstation.
iPhone iOS version 4.3.3.

Olivier LAHAYEIn udev rules, did you check that the file /lib/udev/rules.d/85-usbmuxd.rules contains OWNER="usbmux"
in the lineACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", OWNER="usbmux", ATTR{idVendor}=="05ac", ATTR{idProduct}=="12[9a][0-9a-f
]", ENV{USBMUX_SUPPORTED}="1", ATTR{bConfigurationValue}!="$attr{bNumConfigurations}", ATTR{bConfigurati onValue}="$attr{bNumConfigurations}", RUN+="/usr/sbin/usbmuxd -u -U usbmux"if you distro uses another user (Mandriva uses "usbmux"), replace usbmux with whatever your distro uses E.G. "usbmuxd"
The line would then look like:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", OWNER="usbmuxd", ATTR{idVendor}=="05ac", ATTR{idProduct}=="12[9a][0-9a-f
]", ENV{USBMUX_SUPPORTED}="1", ATTR{bConfigurationValue}!="$attr{bNumConfigurations}", ATTR{bConfigurati onValue}="$attr{bNumConfigurations}", RUN+="/usr/sbin/usbmuxd -u -U usbmuxd" -

This is a permission issue. You must either run usbmuxd as root user or by passing it the custom user with the "-u" argument.
As noted by Olivier above, check what your distro uses or create a corresponding user and make sure he has permissions to access /var/lib/lockdown and USB device nodes.This ticket tracker is deprecated as we've moved to github.com/libimobiledevice.
