I switched my main OS to LMDE 201403,everything is good except connecting to my iPhone.
Mint file manager named Caja displays iPhone icon,when I click the icon,error message is shown like this.
Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

It’s major problem of debian,but I cannot find the solution for LMDE 201403.
According to debian iPhone Wiki,I installs packages and adjust configurations.But I cannnot connect to my iPhone.
I tested these (from Debian iPhone Wiki)

If you are not so lucky, you connect to your iPhone,But …..

download the script from here
mount-iphone.sh
add execution and exec

$ chmod +x mount-iphone.sh $ ./mount-iphone.sh mount Error mounting location: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) iphone mount failed |
I spent about two days to solve this problem.
I found solution in Linux Mint Forums!
Solution is here.

Open Package Manager(synaptics),and Select Settings >> Repositories,
and add wheezy repository.
search ifuse and install ifuse , you can connect your iPhone.
My Solution
I don’t like the solution ,because repository dependencies will break.
So I download packages manually from debian site,and install them. I can connect my iPhone!
Download packages from here.
https://packages.debian.org/ja/wheezy/ifuse
https://packages.debian.org/ja/wheezy/fuse-utils
https://packages.debian.org/ja/wheezy/libimobiledevice2

install packages

$ cd ~/Downloads/ $ 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 $ sudo mkdir /mnt/iphone $ sudo chown $USER:$USER /mnt/iphone/ -R $ sudo chmod 777 /mnt/iphone/ |
Now ,mount your iPhone!
