[Bug 1623666] Re: iOS10 will not connect to Ubuntu

[Brad Lucier]

I'm not an expert, but it seems that the pace of Apple's OS changes and
the updates needed by the libimobiledevice team to keep up with them
might mean that one cannot rely on either Ubuntu's packaging of
libimobiledevice or a separate ppa, but must just build things from the
git repository, if you know how.

This worked for me:

    19	16:35	git clone https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice.git
    20	16:35	cd libimobiledevice
    21	16:35	./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/libimobiledevice
    22	16:36	make
    23	16:36	sudo make install

At this point I changed my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include
/usr/local/libimobiledevice/lib at the front, so ifuse, etc., will load
the new library instead of the pre-installed one.  I use tcsh so that
command looks like

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/libimobiledevice/lib:

Then the following worked (after some fidgeting, rebooting my iPod
Touch, etc.):

    37	16:44	idevicepair pair
    38	16:45	ifuse /media/iPod/

At least I can load my music into Rhythmbox, etc.
