New comment by austinrojers on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/34458#issuecomment-991827214 Comment: Hello there again! > Feel free to reopen this issue if the problem occurs again. I think you knew this would happen again right? Yesterday _usbmuxd_ was _up_ and running, and I could do USB tethering, file transfers and all that. It still worked after a couple of reboots too. Today when I powered on my laptop and plugged in my iPhone, it again shows the same issue. Now we know that it at least works & you are right about this, I suppose: > I may assume that your problem is the following: you are unable to start usbmuxd; this is the _cause_. **As you had previously requested:** ``` ❯ sudo sv status usbmuxd down: usbmuxd: 503s, normally up ❯ sudo sv restart usbmuxd timeout: down: usbmuxd: 0s, normally up, want up ❯ sudo sv stop usbmuxd ok: down: usbmuxd: 1s, normally up, want up ❯ sudo usbmuxd -f -u [08:40:01.670][3] usbmuxd v1.1.1 starting up [08:40:01.670][3] Another instance is already running (pid 798). Telling it to check for devices. [08:40:01.670][3] Sending signal SIGUSR2 to instance with pid 798 ```
