Prerequisite Packages Needed with the Proper USE Flags:

After these are installed, you need to remove both media-sound/amarok and media-sound/amarok-utils. Once these are removed, you need to reinstall both of the newest packages with the following USE flags.

Before the installation, you need to remove the Amarok folders in your home directory. You will have to reconfigure your music collection’s location, but this will clear all of the problems that might stop your phone from mounting in Amarok. (I removed all the folders vice each file inside)

Locations of Amarok Configurations:

…and here are the new Amarok packages you need.

Amarok and Amarok Utilities with Proper USE Flags:

Once you have done all of this, plug your phone in, and it should mount in Amarok automatically.

Screenshot:

Simply emerge the following, start the init script, and install the additional certificates into Firefox, and your CAC should work.

… and for the init script

Lastly, installing the DoD Certificates:

The Certs:

The easiest way to install the certificates is by visitinghttp://dodpki.c3pki.chamb.disa.mil/rootca.html and clicking on each one.

Alternatively, you can download them and install them by hand.

All of the certificates are located at the following links:

• https://crl.chamb.disa.mil/

Sadly, there is no quick way to manually add the certs, and I had to load all 45 certs by hand. It shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes, however, you have to load each one, click Okay, and then start the new one, you can’t just load all of them before clicking Okay.

To add the certs manually, simply go to Edit >> Preferences. Once the window appears, go to the Advanced tab, and then the Encryption sub tab. Click on the View Certificates button. Go to the Authorities tab, and click the import button. Navigate to the first certificate, and then add it. Click okay, then repeat the steps starting at the Import button again.

After you have loaded all of the certs, and before you can use your card, you have to point Firefox to the CAC reader. Firefox considers your reader to be a “Security Device.” To add it, simply go to Edit >> Preferences. Once the window appears, go to the Advanced tab, and then the Encryption sub tab. Click on the Security Devices button. You need to select CAC Module and add the path to libcoolkeypk11.so. You can either slocate it on your system, or if you have a 64bit, then point it to /usr/lib64/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.so. You should be prompted for your password and after that you are set.

MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT ENTER YOUR PASSWORD WRONG 3 TIMES OR IT WILL LOCK YOUR CARD, AND YOU WILL HAVE TO GET YOUR CARD PROVIDER TO UNLOCK IT!

For convenience, I just added both into the /usr/local/portage tree, and digested these. Hopefully in the next day or two this problem will be fixed.

Even though I have thanked him once before, thanks again to Marcan and his blog. His hard work has made this possible. I recommend reading his walkthrough to get a better understanding of everything. This walkthrough is a similar walkthrough to his, but targets Gentoo. As stated in all other walkthroughs, you do not need to jailbreak your phone, but I recommend it, makes everything easier. I nor any developer or provider is responsible for any damages that you cause by following our walkthroughs, so, if you brick, it is on you. Lastly, your iPhone should have already been plugged into iTunes and received a song at least once.

The way I did it might not be the way it SHOULD be done, but it did work. If you know of a better way, please bring it to light.

First, you will need the Rion overlay like I wrote in earlier posts.

Next, you will need to emerge a few needed packages. I found that the libgpod package in portage isn’t going to work, so will have to manually install that one from the sourceforge project page. In the mean time, I will try writing an ebuild for it so that it can be emerged. (I emerged it, an then built new one over it) Additionally, the versions that you have will also matter, but the 9999 versions mostly don’t work yet, so a couple of entries into your package.keywords and package.use will be necessary. Also, before emerging any of this, I would recommend adding “ipod” you your USE flags in your /etc/make.conf file.

Next, you will need to build the custom version of libgpod. If everything is built right on your system, then you should be fine, but if you get any errors, of course you will need to fix them before you continue. You will need git in order to obtain this build from the sourceforge repository. Find a nice location on your drive, and as root, execute the following.

Now, we have start testing everything out. We need to make sure that your phone is fully connected once you plug it in, and we need to make sure that usbmuxd is detecting your phone. We have to create the usbmux user so that usbmuxd will work properly. You will have to make sure that this user has access to usb and plugdev. I added wheel too, but it isn’t necessary.

Once everything is emerged successfully, you need to test out and make sure that your iphone is being registered when it connects. First you will have to modify the udev rules so that you can see the output. Increase the syslog debug level by editing “/lib/udev/rules.d/85-usbmuxd.rules” and adding “-v -v” flags to the end of both RUN statements. Now you can run the following and see if usbmuxd is seeing your iphone.

Now it is time to mount the device, create some required folders, and get your UUID. Since you now have ifuse, you can easily mount your device, but in order to do this, it is required to be in a specific location. Additionally, if you want your users (not root) to also have ifuse privileges, you will need to edit the config files to do that.

Now obtain your UUID either from the logs, or by running…

Your UUID is a long hexadecimal string that is roughly 40 characters long. In the longs above, mine is 69a4294a91a56958927f3fafe0086bf90ccd2d2b. Now, lets generate the XML file for your phone, simply run…

This will create the file iTunes_Control/Device/SysInfoExtended file. Make sure there is stuff in it, and it is not empty. It should be a large XML file with a bunch of info.

If there were no errors, then you are good to go. You can now sync up with linux and transfer music. In the future, when you plug your device in, you simply need to run…

I have been using GTKPod to transfer my music over to the device, however, it should work with other applications like RhythmBox or Amarok. I haven’t tried them out yet, but I would be interested to see if anyone gets that working.

[singlepic id=20 w=320 h=240 float=left] [singlepic id=21 w=320 h=240 float=center]

Step 1: First, you need add the Rion overlay from layman.

(if you have a PORTDIR_OVERLAY line already, then just add it manually with your favorite editor)

Step 2: You will need to emerge a couple of packages, if you have them installed, it is best to remove them first, then emerge the new ones.

You will need the following packages in order for this to work right. Note that the version DOES matter. If you have older versions, they need to go, but same or later versions are good.

• 1. dev-libs/libusb-1.0.5
• virtual/libusb-1
• 2. app-pda/ifuse-0.9.4
• 3. app-pda/libplist-0.16
• 4. app-pda/libiphone-0.9.4
• 5. app-pda/usbmuxd-1.0.0_rc2

The 9999 packages of any of these really didn’t work for me, so I suggest masking them out.

Additionally, I would make sure that amarok and/or rhythmbox are built with ipod support (USE=”ipod”). Just add the ‘ipod’ use flag to your USE line in /etc/make.conf.

Now, we have to create the usbmux user so that usbmuxd will work properly. You will have to make sure that this user has access to usb and plugdev. I added wheel too, but it isn’t necessary.

Once everything is emerged successfully, you need to test out and make sure that your iphone is being registered when it connects. First you will have to modify the udev rules so that you can see the output. Increase the syslog debug level by editing “/lib/udev/rules.d/85-usbmuxd.rules” and adding “-v -v” flags to the end of both RUN statements. Now you can run the following and see if usbmuxd is seeing your iphone.

If you are seeing your phone come up, then everything was done right. The last thing to do is mount the phone. simply use ifuse, and mount it to a specified mount point.

Again, you can now browse the entire filing system, and when you import the music, it should convert so that it isn’t in the hashed/encrypted form. Rhythmbox even got the album art.

I am working on how to copy music to the iphone now, so if anyone got that down, please let me know.
