Salix OS

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

SlackBuilds at SBo: ifuse, libimobiledevice, libtasn1, libplist, usbmuxd

Packages (.txz) are available at slacky.eu

You have an iPhone I can't believe it

I did not bought it, I rarely use it, I'm using Ekiga, 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: Install slapt-src from the Salix OS Repository with: Install usbmuxd from the SBo Repository with: Create a usbmux user with: Install libplist from the SBo Repository with: Install libimobiledevice from the SBo Repository with: Install ifuse from the SBo Repository with: Please exit from the root terminal FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Open terminal as user.

Create an empty folder with the name Toast Plug-in your iPhone or iPod Touch (or whatever proprietary iSatan)

Use ideviceinfo (included with libimobiledevice) to reveal the device UUID (40 digits) Output: find the following line Use ifuse to mount your device to the iPhone 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: FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS

A note about ifuse:

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

I feel better about being a BlackBerry owner now
