Ubuntu Server 16.10 & iOS devices recharge

  • 772

When connecting an iPad Pro or an iPhone 7+ to an USB port (of an X99 mobo) the devices show "Not charging" next to the battery icon.

I tried googling this question around and the only solution (the most recent) I found, ipad-charge, it doesn't seem to work under Ubuntu Server 16.10.

I'm at a dead-end, any help?

Thank you.

P.S. This is an headless server I wish I could just plug a device to for a sporadic charge, without needing to ssh the server to mount or acivate something, just plug and charge. Is it posssible with these apple devices?

  1. I've been experiencing similar issues with Ubuntu 17.10 where my device appears to be charging but isn't really.

    Unfortunately I haven't found a way to fix this without command-line access to the machine - the only way I've found to fix this is by restarting the usbmuxd daemon, e.g.,

    % sudo systemctl restart usbmuxd

    and then reconnecting my phone.
