I considered that option, as well as Dropbox. However: there were 4,000 .jpeg to be transferred..... a lot of time to upload and then download that many images to the "Cloud" .The solution I want is for her to just hook up the Tether and then use the Import from Camera option in SHOTWELL.
I think I made an error yesterday: I tried the CD again and noticed it was loading the musl version -- whatever that is......
that kind of entered my mind that is why I gave you that link to try and avoid that one, it is "Welcome to the home of musl, a new standard library to power a new generation of Linux-based devices. musl is lightweight, fast, simple, free ..."

so, i downloaded
Code:
void-live-x86_64-20170220-cinnamon.iso
( and checked the SHA256SUM -- like I should have done, yesterday )
and burned a new CD. I also switched to the 1080 RGB monitor--- basics, y'know
after that the image loaded and showed a Cinnamon Desktop. I was able to connect the WiFi, however: no "INSTALL" option appears
where do y'all have that hidden ? the target disk is UNFORMATED: No partition table.
one of the issues i'm facing is the person i'm trying to help is an ON|OFF person. She'll turn her phone on and plug in a cable but beyond that -- she just quits. with that in mind I'm not sure where this will end.
to install it switch tty's
cltr + alt + F(x) then log in
Before you get too far into Installing Void Linux, I went back and doubled checked, because I've been in Slack for a while now and Void works but only on the app end to access them - I use it to copy movies into a video player app.
here is a ifuse mount iPhone script that works/worked for me too a while back. as this libs and ios keeps getting changed so yeah ....
with you needing to get into your Phone via a file manager you need to get to the other side so you can get into that DC(something something) directory on the system side of the iPhone.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
# mount-iphone.sh
# This script attempts to mount or unmount the first connected ipod/iphone.
# Usage: ./mount-iphone.sh [mount | umount | echo_serial]
# It should be dash-friendly

# You can configure send_msg to use either a console echo, or notify-send.
# notify-send is part of the debian package, libnotify-bin
# The apple pictures in /usr/share/pixmaps are part of the gnome-desktop-data package
#
# uncomment the following if you want to see the mount command used:
# show_mount_cmd=1
# you can uncomment this line to see all the commands sh executes:
# set -x
show_msg ()
{
# notify-send -t 4000 -u normal "mount-iphone" "$1" -i "/usr/share/pixmaps/apple-$2.png"
echo "$1" >&2
}
get_device_ids ()
{
# get the Apple vendor id (idVendor) from lsusb
idVendor=$(lsusb -v 2>/dev/null | awk '/idVendor.*Apple/{print $2; exit}')
[ -z "$idVendor" ] && { show_msg "Cannot find any Apple device" "red"; exit 1; }
# get the device serial number (iSerial)
iSerial=$(lsusb -v -d $idVendor: 2>/dev/null | awk '/iSerial/{print $3; exit}')
[ -z "$iSerial" ] && { show_msg "Cannot find serial number of Apple device $idVendor" "red"; exit 1; }

you can give that a try too - I am not sure/do not remember everything on how to get it to mount - I just remebered I had it stored on dropbox then went and found it.
I ran it and it states iPhone is mounted because the file manager automounts my iPhone.
Code:
userx%voider ⚡ ~ ⚡> ./mount-iphone.sh mount
This tool has been deprecated, use 'gio mount' instead.
See 'gio help mount' for more info.
1e24efc9b7e101bdd546c859d7f7ae073739a978 is already mounted
that is what I am getting when I run it. it might work for you too.
you might have to tweak it as I have not looked into that deprecated warning message before posting this.
let me go back into Slackware and see whats up with this now.

hmmmmmmmm .... Question then: would Slack be a better choice here ?
hmmmmmmmm .... Question then: would Slack be a better choice here ?
might be as I see it you have to get on the system side of the iPhone and in slack with ios 10.3.2 that is all I am getting in slack whereas in Void all I am getting is the other side that gets one to the installed apps. before I upgraded my iOS I have a vague memory of being able to get in with both slack and void on both sides. so if you have a lesser version iOS you might be ok with either one. But don't quote me on that
