I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and I can't get the tethering to work. I found many solutions to this problem, but I don't have Internet access except the iPhone. And most of the fixes are online based or old!
Can I can download the required packages with Windows (which does connect), put those files on a external drive, and fix it that way?
Guess you will need to go to a coffeehaus or library w/ WiFi to download as described in How do I set up the iPhone USB Ethernet Driver? :
ipheth-utils
libimobiledevice-dev
libimobiledevice-utils
if Personal Hotspot was enabled and then you opened a terminal window to do
idevicepair unpair && idevicepair pair
and then unplugged/replugged your phone with no success.
