Hi everyone. The slow access is also observed by me on Xubuntu 18.04. It affects all tools using MTP (Thunar, Shotwell) when opening folders with many files.
In all cases the application stops responding and some (like Thunar) eventually crash entirely. Neither disabling nor enabling previews in Thunar has any effect. As reported by the others, it works just fine with Xubuntu 16.04. Also, the output of "dmesg -w" shows no issue. It shows that the device connects fine -- once after hooking it up to USB and the second time after allowing the MTP access on Android. I will try to get the "journalctl" log output on Sunday, when I get access to the affected machine again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792085 Title: MTP not working/very slow on Bionic Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, unfortunately (for me) MTP android devices no more work on Ubuntu 18.04. I have used MTP on 16.04 without problems, but on 18.04 it does not work. When I connect my Android devices (Samsung A5 and Samsung J3) and I try to list directories with many files (e.g. /DCIM/Camera) the window hangs until I disconnect the device. Same issue if I try to post the command "ls /var/run/1000/gvfs/<MTP-FOLDER>". I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 on two different machines - an older HP laptop and a recent DELL laptop - and the issue is present on the all of them. I suspect a defect on the "libmtp". I tried many alternative solutions suggested by the net (e.g. jmtpfs and so on) but anyone worked. That's all!
