iPhone and iPod touch support

[zAchAry]

Have anyone managed to get an iPhone/iPod touch support on a SalixOS box?

I did not bought it, I rarely use it, I'm using Ekiga, and I'm waiting for the iX Project to evolve.

and I'm waiting for the iX Project to evolve.

If you want an usable smartphone with pure Linux you should better buy a Nokia N900 with Maemo. I doubt that iX will ever reach an usable state.

It isn't a Transformer mobile phone. this phone, is a material that I'm possessing and I'd
like to get access to it (the contents within it) without using Ubuntu 10.04 inside a VBox.

Good point So what's wrong with these Slackbuilds? Did you try them? libtasn is in our repo.
Seems the iPhone can be mounted via fuse with these stuff, which would be really cool.

I've installed the packages from slacky.eu
I tried to mount it with Gigolo, but nothing happened.
I'm doing something wrong, obviously, or I'm missing something.

Open terminal as root.

Install libtasn from the Salix OS Repository with:

Code: Select all

root[~]# slapt-get -i libtasn

Install slapt-src from the Salix OS Repository with:

Code: Select all

root[~]# slapt-get -i slapt-src

Install usbmuxd from the SBo Repository with:

Code: Select all

root[~]# slapt-src -i usbmuxd

Create a usbmux user with:

Code: Select all

root[~]# useradd -u 233 -g plugdev -d /dev/null -s /bin/false usbmux

Install libplist from the SBo Repository with:

Code: Select all

root[~]# slapt-src -i libplist

Install libimobiledevice from the SBo Repository with:

Code: Select all

root[~]# slapt-src -i libimobiledevice

Install ifuse from the SBo Repository with:

Code: Select all

root[~]# slapt-src -i ifuse

Please exit from the root terminal

Code: Select all

root[~]# exit

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Open terminal as user.

Create an empty folder with the name Toast

Code: Select all

$ mkdir Toast

Plug-in your iPhone or iPod Touch (or whatever proprietary iSatan)

Use ideviceinfo (included with libimobiledevice) to reveal the device UUID (40 digits)

Code: Select all

$ ideviceinfo

Output: find the following line

Code: Select all

UniqueDeviceID: ****************************************

Use ifuse to mount your device to the iPhone

Code: Select all

$ ifuse Toast -u ****************************************

You'll now be able to access to the contents of your device via the newly created 'Toast' directory.

Un-mount your device (as root) with:

Code: Select all

root[~]# umount Toast

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS

A note about ifuse:

Do I need to use iFuse to mount the device?
iFuse is only useful if you want to mount the device manually and if you do not have GNOME and GVFS installed. Otherwise it is useless since GNOME's GVFS supports accessing the device directly and creates a fuse mount in ~/.gvfs/, too.

Filesystem Access: Using iFuse with fuse, on GNOME using GVFS >= 1.5.1 or kio_afc on KDE.

Salix OS KDE users are welcome to report how they can mount their iSatan devices (was it with or without the command-line interface?)

you should put the instruccions in the wiki
... and lol at iSatan
