The USB mount of an iPhone-8 (15.6.1) no longer shows up.

When I plug it in, the iPhone buzzes appropriately, and this shows up on the Ubuntu system:

$ sudo journalctl --follow

But there's no obvious mount anywhere (e.g. df, mount, or the Files GUI).

This was working fine a few weeks ago.

  • I do not need ppa anymore as Ubuntu has drivers. https://askubuntu.com/questions/909988/i-connect-my-iphone-5-ios-10-3-1-but-my-ubuntu-16-04-doesnt-seem-to-detect-it/910094#910094 – oldfred Aug 27 '22 at 19:48
  • @oldfred, that answer hangs at `idevicepair pair`. And it doesn't explain why it stopped working when it was okay a few weeks ago. – Ray Butterworth Aug 27 '22 at 21:18
  • What OS/release are you using; you've only said you're using the 5.13 kernel. No *supported* release of Ubuntu uses that kernel, so are you using Ubuntu ? – guiverc Aug 27 '22 at 22:33
  • Did you unlock iphone? Mine usually says I have to do that. Then phone says "trust". – oldfred Aug 27 '22 at 22:34
  • Ubuntu 21.10 (along with all flavors) is *End-of-Life* and thus unsupported on this site (https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic), and many other Ubuntu sites, unless your question is specific to moving to a supported release of Ubuntu. https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2022/07/19/ubuntu-21-10-impish-indri-end-of-life-reached-on-july-14-2022/ – guiverc Aug 27 '22 at 22:35
  • @guiverc, it's not 21.10, it's 20.04 (fully updated), as indicated by the `uname` output. – Ray Butterworth Aug 27 '22 at 22:49
  • Unplug your iPhone. `ls -l /dev >a`. Watch `sudo journalctl --follow` as you plug in the iPhone. `^C` to exit `journalctl`. `ls -l /dev >b;diff a b` should give you enough information to solve the problem. – waltinator Aug 27 '22 at 22:50
  • @oldfred, if by "unlock" you mean I entered the pass-code to enter it, yes I did. As I said, this used to work, but now it doesn't, but nothing is giving any error messages. – Ray Butterworth Aug 27 '22 at 22:51
  • A fully upgraded 20.04 system will use the 5.4 kernel if using GA, or 5.15 if using HWE. 5.13 was from 21.10 & was replaced with the 5.15 kernel on 20.04 systems **before** 21.10 reached EOL (*or within a week for some cloud users using non-standard kernels*), so if using 20.04 your system is behind on upgrades (you should be using 20.04.5 with upgrades fully rolled out now, but they started rolling out just prior to 21.10's EOL!) Your `uname` proves you're not using an *upgraded* system. – guiverc Aug 27 '22 at 22:52
  • A 20.04 system upgraded is using `linux-generic-hwe-20.04 | 5.15.0.46.49~20.04.16 | focal-updates | amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x` where using the HWE kernel stack. – guiverc Aug 27 '22 at 22:55
  • @guiverc, `sudo apt update`, `sudo apt upgrade` produces "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded". — "*Your uname proves you're not using an upgraded system.*" — so what do I need to do to use an upgraded system? – Ray Butterworth Aug 27 '22 at 22:58
  • Your details fit a Ubuntu 20.04 based system such as Linux Mint, but **not** a Ubuntu 20.04 LTS system that has correct sources (*read the output of `sudo apt update` and check for missing lines, or check your sources; myself I find checking sources easier*). When did you last perform `sudo apt full-upgrade` as `apt upgrade` has limitations on what it can install as is documented (ie. `man apt` & search for `full-upgrade` and it'll tell you it performs upgrade without the limitations on `upgrade`)... Your provided details don't match 20.04 for an updated source. – guiverc Aug 27 '22 at 23:01
  • @waltinator, the diff showed only changed timestamps on char, ptmx, chsm, and tty. ¶ I've included the journalctl output in the question. – Ray Butterworth Aug 27 '22 at 23:08
  • @guiverc, `sudo apt full-upgrade` says "*0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.*". – Ray Butterworth Aug 27 '22 at 23:09
