Timeout Before Trust Answer With IPhone IOS 8

Until recently I’ve not had any problem connecting my iPhone 4s with iOS
8 to my CentOS 6.6 desktop to move pictures and videos. Problem occurs with my wife’s new iPhone 5s.

Now, before I can answer the “Trust This Computer” message on the iPhone, I get a DBus error:

“org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply
(timeout by message bus)”

Searching this message reveals a lot of complaints by users on Ubuntu and a bug in a library. But this was back in 2012-2013. Couldn’t find anything related to CentOS.

Appears to be a timing issue…the timer expires before I can respond to the trust question on the iPhone.

Any guidance on how to fix this? Is there a timeout setting somewhere down in udev, fuse, or gvfs?

  • Fix, no. Work-around, maybe. Providing I recall this correctly.

    I ran into this when I first updated to ios8 and what seemed to work for me then was to make the connection, ignore the time-out, trust the computer on the iPhone, and then unplug and re-plug the iPhone’s USB
    connection to the host. The second connection attempt worked as I
    recall.
