Access iPad file system using ubunto

After a few chokes I managed to access the file system of my iPad2 using Ubunto, here are the steps it took to get the job done:

1 - add this PPA:

ppa:pmcenery/ppa

2 - update:

sudo apt-get update

3 - install ifuse:

sudo apt-get install ifuse

4 - install libimobiledevice:

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf libtool libgnutls-dev libglib2.0-dev libxml2-dev libreadline5-dev

5 - install libimobiledevice1:

sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice1

6 - Go to 'System » Administration » User and Groups » Advanced settings » User Privileges' and check everything! :)

7 - Reboot

8 - Connect ipad

9 - If not mounted yet, mount it

By all means I'm no expert on this matter! Maybe some steps are redundant (who knows? :), maybe even unnecessary, all I'm saying is that these were the steps I had to take to make it work and you know that I'll just say: "Works on my machine!" :D

Anyway, hope this info will help someone with the same issue.
