The First 100 Years Are The Hardest

Reposted from  AskUbuntu .   A lot of trouble for an easy fix.   I verified with Ubunstu Studio 19.04 with iOS 13.2.3 Ubuntu 18.04 / iOS 11.4 This version of Ubuntu has the latest libimobiledevice (at the time of release) so it supports iOS 11.4. There is a propblem with the Gnome integration, though. It shows the Documents folder (app folders). In addition to the tip below by @diego, here's a simple way to get to the pictures folder (this works if the iOS Documents show up for you but not the pictures): Open the iDevices Documents folder in Nautilus. Press CTRL + L to get the real address which will look like afc://YOURSERIAL:3/ Remove trailing colon and number and press ENTER (i.e. it should just read afc://YOURSERIAL ) You should now see your iDevices system folders, including DCIM.

Been a while since I posted but wanted to grab some old DV files from the Video Camera.   A lot of peple report firewire support being broken in many linux distros, but figuring out how to login to my old blog was a tad bit harder than getting ieee1394 interfaces working again on my linux system! Steps for future reference 1.  Install Ubuntu Studio . Note:  While I've been using LinuxMint for many years, I felt like a change anyway. 2. Set Up Firewire IRQ Priorities.   Confirmed changes on my system: cat /etc/default/rtirq RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="rtc firewire snd usb i8042" RTIRQ_NONE_THREADED="rtc firewire snd" 3.  Reboot - Here's output of dmesg and lspci $dmesg |grep firewire [ 1.603804] firewire_ohci 0000:04:09.0: added OHCI v1.10 device as card 0, 4 IR + 8 IT contexts, quirks 0x41 [ 2.110941] firewire_core 0000:04:09.0: created device fw0: GUID 0011066600000215, S400 [ 90.935327] firewire_core 0000:04:09.0: phy config: new root=ffc1, gap
