iPhone tether to USB in Linux Mint

[eiger3970]

Hi, I'm trying to connect/tether my iPhone's hotspot to Linux Mint's USB port.
I followed this https://www.howtogeek.com/68999/how-to- ... -linux-pc/

Installed ipheth-utils > rebooted > turned on iPhone hotspot > connected USB cable from iPhone to Linux Mint > no internet?

Hello eiger3970,

I don't know whether I understand you right, but for Iphone USB Tethering I only know this without extra app installation:

USB Tethering Iphone

1. connect your phone to your computer via USB (your phone charger hopefully has a usable, detachable USB cable)
2. go to Settings > Personal Hotspot > Activate in your phone
3. activate USB only

Thanks, yes I did that.

iPhone to USB to Linux Mint > no connection option at all.
I turn on iPhone and Linux Mint wifi and Linux Mint has internet from the iphone.
However, I need internet from the USB, not the wifi.

It’s no problem USB tethering an iPhone to a Windows computer with iTunes installed as the required USB driver is in iTunes.
I do it all the time.
Don’t think there is an iTunes for Linux? ... at least not one that I’ve heard of.
Doubt if Apple would provide a separate Linux driver for USB iPhone tethering.
I use wifi (iPhones “Personal Hotspot”) to connect my iPhone to Linux computers for Internet access purposes.
