Like a few others, upgrading to Maverick Meerkat killed iPhone tethering. Actually I found that this occurred on most kernel upgrades. Luckily, the fix is simple. Recall, that normal installation is simply:
Set repositories:
Instead, un-install then re-install. If the kernel isn't updated on the re-installation the chances are it hasn't worked.
Set repositories:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppaThen install the drivers:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gvfs ipheth-dkms ipheth-utilsNow, on an upgrade these are already installed, and even a re-installation failed:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gvfs ipheth-dkms ipheth-utilsThough, this normally works on a kernel upgrade.
Instead, un-install then re-install. If the kernel isn't updated on the re-installation the chances are it hasn't worked.
sudo apt-get remove gvfs ipheth-dkms ipheth-utils
sudo apt-get install gvfs ipheth-dkms ipheth-utils

Thank you, just what i needed.
I've just followed every step, and afterwards I restarted my computer (dell studio 1558 with ubuntu 10.10) and after entering my password in the user-selector interface, the screen went black and then it came back to the same window. It seems it can't log in. I'm not that experienced in ubuntu... so help! I panic!
I have inserted ubuntu's cd, and started ubuntu from there and I can access my files, so I can make a back up but I have invested long time personalizing my ubuntu aand installing all my programs, so I hope there's a way to revert, what I've done!!!!
I don't want to reinstall ubuntu and miss everything...
To Hector B. Did you note that when you removed gvfs it also removed a bunch of other packages? Press ALT+CTRL+F2 and log in. From the command line, type:
sudo apt-get install brasero gnome-applets gnome-session gvfs gvfs-backends gvfs-fuse ipheth-dkms ipheth-utils nautilus nautilus-share ubuntu-desktop
Removing gvfs removes the gnome desktop also, which means you wouldn't be able to log in to your desktop.
You made my day! Thanks a lot :D
Cheers,
Chris
that worked - great thanks!
I followed every step, even the removing and installing part. when i plug in my iphone, ubuntu recognizes it the right way, starts tethering but is trapped in a "connection loop": it tries to connect until after some seconds there is a timeout :(
any idea how to fix this?
