Solution for iPad charging failure on Ubuntu

In general, iPad and other devices support usb charging. Although it is a little slower than the traditional charger, it is very convenient, so many people like to use usb to charge iPad devices. However, on Ubuntu computers, you may encounter the following problem: when using usb for charging, the iPad will prompt that the charging cannot be performed, which may be confusing, so how can we solve it?

Although it prompts you not to charge, it is still charging, but it is very slow. You may need a whole day to charge 50% of the power. Of course, you don't have so much time to wait. Next we will introduce a software to solve this problem-iPad Charge.

Although the name is iPad Charge, it actually supports the iPhone. After the software is installed, it will adjust the usb charging rules to increase the speed of usb charging (of course, within the appropriate range, will not cause damage to the device ). At the same time, this software provides PPA, so it is very convenient to install it. You only need to execute the following command:

Sudo apt-add-repository ppa: heathbar/ipad-charge

Sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0 for ipad-charge

After installing the software, we need to restart the computer to make the software configuration take effect. After the restart, you can connect your iPad to your computer for charging. If this does not work, you can try to unplug the usb cable, and then run the following command to re-connect to the computer.
