Description Sébastien Hinderer 2013-10-26 15:10:46 UTC

After an Apple device has been upgraded to iOS 7, pluging it to a Linux box does not work anylonger.

When the phone gets plugged to the computer, it displays a warning asking the user whether the phone should trust computer or not. But choosing Trust does not work, the question is asked again and again.

It seems that the drivers need to be updated for things continuing to work.
