Fixing ipod touch / iphone support in LMDE after Update Pack 8

Since upgrading to Update Pack 8 (UP8) in Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), I'm no longer able to mount my ipod Touch 2G 3.1.3 or iphone 3GS 6.1.4. Both devices used to appear as a mounted device when plugged in, and I could use gtkpod to sync to. Since the upgrade, when I plug in either device, I get a DBUS timeout error. The devices appear as unmounted, and when I try mount them via caja, I get a DBUS timeout error.

dmeg has the following output:

I found a solution posted at http://beautifulajax.dip.jp/?p=536.

In a nutshell, I downloaded the following 4 files:

libusbmuxd1_1.0.7-2_amd64.deb
libimobiledevice2_1.1.1-4_amd64.deb
fuse-utils_2.9.0-2+deb7u1_all.deb
ifuse_1.0.0-1+b1_amd64.deb 

 from:

https://packages.debian.org/en/wheezy/ifuse
https://packages.debian.org/en/wheezy/fuse-utils
https://packages.debian.org/en/wheezy/libimobiledevice2
https://packages.debian.org/en/wheezy/libusbmuxd1

Install by each of the 4 by running dkpg, such as:

sudo dpkg -i libusbmuxd1_1.0.7-2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libimobiledevice2_1.1.1-4_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i fuse-utils_2.9.0-2+deb7u1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i ifuse_1.0.0-1+b1_amd64.deb 

Create a mount point, such as /mnt/iphone:

sudo mkdir /mnt/iphone
sudo chmod 777 /mnt/iphone/

To mount the iphone / ipod touch, connect the device and run:

ifuse /mnt/iphone/

To unmount the iphone / ipod touch, run:

umount /mnt/iphone/
