ios <-> linux - no transfer #64
Description
I've just installed v8.01 on fedora (i3) and an iphone.
Transfer in either direction seems to drop a few seconds after qr code scan on the iphone. "Cancel" button on the phone changes back to "Select Files", wifi switches back to my home network, and the last log line on the phone is "Peer IP: x.x.x.x".
This may not be related, but I also noticed, that "Select Folder" doesn't appear to be working: "Selected Folder:" remains empty and selecting folder again always defaults to some path (presumably app image path?) that looks like this: /tmp/.mount_linux_dQwUyI/usr.
Thank you for your help.

Strange, never seen this though I've also never tested on Fedora. I assume you used the AppImage? Could you please send the output from the Fedora side?

This is what I see in the end:

So the iPhone joins the hotspot and finds the Fedora device's IP, but Fedora never gets beyond waiting for a TCP connection... Are you maybe running a firewall that's preventing inbound connections on TCP :3290?

And do you maybe have SELinux or something else active that would enforce Flying Carpet writing to
/tmp/.mount_linux_dQwUyI/usr?artemave commentedon Jan 31, 2024
There's no firewall blocking that port.

I am on fedora.

I installed Fedora to a VM and while I can't run full transfers, I am seeing similar behavior. If you run
getenforcein a terminal and it outputsEnforcing, then it's SELinux getting in your way. You can runsudo setenforce Permissiveto change SELinux to Permissive mode instead of Enforcing mode till the next reboot. If that allows Flying Carpet to work, you would either need to disable SELinux or write the necessary policies for it. Unfortunately I don't know a lot about writing those policies and will not be much help there.artemave commentedon Feb 9, 2024

And it still doesn't work even with SELinux disabled? Is the output any different? Does it still show the
/tmp/.mount_linux_dQwUyI/usrdirectory when you select something in your home directory?artemave commentedon Feb 10, 2024
Sorry, I meant to say that it was
Disabledto begin with. My bad.spieglt commentedon Mar 8, 2024
No worries, thanks for following up. I'll leave this issue open but unfortunately I probably won't be able to help more with it until I have another machine on which I can install Fedora, and I'm not sure when that will be.

Closing this issue, not switching focus to Fedora anytime soon unfortunately.

I am also having this issue, but on openSUSE Tumbleweed. I can transfer to Android, but not iOS, with the same symptoms as OP.
I have SELinux set to "Enforcing", but I do not see any access controls regarding my usage of Flying Carpet.
