Bug with viewing files with ls and nautilus on iPhone

[Raymond Brun]

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit as of 14/9-12 "latest" version.

Connected my iPhone to export/import music, pictures, video and whatnot. Most things work swell, but accessing the directories to many of the apps does not work well at all.

The phone is mounted in a .gvfs directory, phone is named "Raymonds Telegrafverk".

Plain attempt to ls the directory
raymond@Bruno:~/.gvfs/Documents on Raymonds Telegrafverk$ ls no.vg.snarvei/
ls: reading directory no.vg.snarvei/: Invalid argument

Trying ls with the -d flag
raymond@Bruno:~/.gvfs/Documents on Raymonds Telegrafverk$ ls -d no.vg.snarvei/
no.vg.snarvei/
raymond@Bruno:~/.gvfs/Documents on Raymonds Telegrafverk$

Going into the directory and trying more
raymond@Bruno:~/.gvfs/Documents on Raymonds Telegrafverk$ cd no.vg.snarvei/
raymond@Bruno:~/.gvfs/Documents on Raymonds Telegrafverk/no.vg.snarvei$ ls
ls: reading directory .: Invalid argument
raymond@Bruno:~/.gvfs/Documents on Raymonds Telegrafverk/no.vg.snarvei$ ls -al
ls: reading directory .: Invalid argument
total 0
raymond@Bruno:~/.gvfs/Documents on Raymonds Telegrafverk/no.vg.snarvei$

Nautilus tells me this:
The folder contents could not be displayed.
Sorry, could not display all the contents of "Skype": Unhandled Apple File Control error (7)

Now weirdest thing, I had problems with no.vg.e24.snarvei/ earlier, but now all of a sudden it works.
As mentioned above, no.vg.snarvei/ is now the actual problem.
The word "snarvei" is norwegian for "shortctu", not that it matters.

Here's a strace ls report
raymond@Bruno:~/.gvfs/Documents on Raymonds Telegrafverk$ strace ls no.vg.e24.snarvei/

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1051675/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.

[This is an automated message. I apologize if it reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

[Raymond Brun (raymond-brun)]

I tried to figure out the package but to avail. Maybe I suck, maybe I dont.

Bug while using ls command, Im guessing due to the error report that /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo is having problems. Maybe in conjunction with apple filesystem (hfs ?)

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Hallo
Is this issue reproducible with the latest updates ?
Thanks

I'm also running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit with Nautilus 3.4.2

My iPad 3 iOS 6.0.1 is automatically mounted on /home/marcel/.gvfs
In Nautilus sidebar tree-view is the device and the documents mounted twice (as duplicates). Browsing into the documents folders will show just 1 folder and opening will result almost always in:

  The folder contents could not be displayed.
  Sorry, could not display all the contents of "<app-name>": Unhandled Apple File Control error (7)

Browsing in the device folders does not give this error. Switching to Nautilus places-view and back to tree-view will remove the duplicate devices.

Hallo
Are you having the same behaviour runing nautilus under root ?
in terminal
sudo nautilus and try to browse your device.

[Marcel (marcel-vd-berg)]

Running nautilus under root does not auto-mount the ipad under /root/.gvfs!
Since I needed to lookup how to mount AFP and/or AFC, i guess using ifuse might be a better solution!?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
