I tried it again on my own machine, but with a different device (old HTC U Play phone), and it didn't work. I wonder what suddenly caused it to work on a different machine. -- Thanks, Maxim

Did you have a chance to update your system following the core-updates merge yet? At least on a fresh install it was working correctly now on one machine, where it wasn't before. -- Thanks, Maxim

I've also experienced this with plain USB block devices like some of my microSD adapters. No idea what causes it. Sometimes it shows up in Nautilus for a split second and then disappears. Weirdly enough, running fdisk -l on the block device makes it show up in Nautilus. But it should be noted that our Nautilus version is behind by two versions.

Hi, Connecting an Android phone via USB to a Guix System that has GNOME installed, and selecting the transfer mode to be USB/media, I'd expect it to appear in Nautilus, the same it does in other mainstream distributions. Instead, nothing happens. In Fedora, for example, the device appears in the left panel of Nautilus, and a 'gvfsd-mtp' process starts running. In Guix System, there's no 'gvfsd-mtp' process running, although a 'gvfs-mtp-volume-monitor' process is running. To be investigated. -- Thanks, Maxim
