Please provide more detail.
How are you trying to load the pics/connect the iPhone to the laptop?
What distro/version of Linux are you using? (Your user agent icon says "Ubuntu," but many Ubuntu derivatives report as Ubuntu.)
Note that Apple aggressively refuses to support Linux. There is, for example, no iTunes for Linux.
A web search for " iphone linux" will turn up a number of articles. I don't have any iJunk, so I have no way of testing any of them.
Oh, and welcome to Linux and to LQ.

Please excuse my forgetting to add what's needed to help. My OS is Linux Mint 17.3 'Rosa' Xfce 32-bit. I was on gmail and clicked on the attachments: browse button to find the picture I wanted to send from my iphone I had USB-attached to my PC. Will do that search. Thanks Again, Nixtr

searched linux iphone and from http://geeknizer.com/sync-iphone-linux/ I tried this on the terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa  mcenery/ppa to this response:
-laptop ~ $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa  mcenery/ppa
[sudo] password for nick:
'This PPA does not support trusty'
Cannot add PPA: ''This PPA does not support trusty''.
Then thought I'd go for the updates with sudo apt-get update as a command. Will see if any effect takes, maybe. Nixtr

the number has changed on my unhandled lockdown error to (-256) briefly, then went back to (-16) when checked again. Hmmph.

just to add, this thread is unresolved, but I believe there must be a way around and so is solvable, maybe. Thanks for any further contribution.

Run through the list of pkgs in here and make sure you got everything installed via your repo. \ http://www.libimobiledevice.org/

Hi & Thanks for replying. I clicked on the libimob.... link you provided, but cannot recognize the list of packages. did you refer me to this:
Sources and Dependencies:
libimobiledevice-1.2.0.tar.bz2
ifuse-1.1.3.tar.bz2
libplist-1.12.tar.bz2
libusbmuxd-1.0.10.tar.bz2
usbmuxd-1.1.0.tar.bz2 (needs libusb >= 1.0.3)
ideviceinstaller-1.1.0.tar.bz2
libideviceactivation-1.0.0.tar.bz2
or this one that's labelled packages, but hard to discern which if any would apply, for newbie me, anyway: Packages:
openSUSE openSUSE or 1-Click Install (openSUSE 13.2)
Fedora Fedora (Packages in the official repositories)
Debian Debian
Ubuntu Ubuntu (Packages in the official repositories)
I woulda clicked on the 1st one but didn't say for linux mint nor call it the libimobiledevice. Sorry but dealing with newbies is like dealing with newbies. Thanks for trying, Nixtr

Ubuntu and Mint are the same thing. So go with the Ubuntu link and pick the 16.04 version of the deb or ppa/repo.

yeah one does have to decipher through it to figure out everything iDevice related. Everything I need gets installed except libusbmuxd and usbmuxd - I just install them and my file manager thunar and pcmamfm picks up my iPhone np I just have to do that 'trust' thing.

Yeah. Threads like these remind me why I sold my Iphone and bought a Samsung.

Always one IOS update away from breakage.
