MTP access is broken Galaxy Note 7 (6.0.1) with 256GB card connected to Kubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.7.2, same with S5 with 64GB card and S3 Phones are set to developer mode USB set to File Transfer Amarok is not installed. Dolphin will connect, but it's intermittent. If a connection is made it will fail when accessing files or transferring files. I've tried Konqueror and Krusader same intermittent behavior. No reliable access on Kubuntu/Ubuntu
VirtualBox on Kubuntu 16.04 running Windows 7 does supply reliable access Why is this such a problem on Ubuntu, it's been years and no fix What do it take to fix this, I think there are enough developers out there that a focused effort could be launched to resolve this problem. mtp-detect | grep idVendor Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP). LIBMTP ERROR: couldnt parse extension samsung.com/devicestatus:4 Error 1: Get Storage information failed. It's embarrassing that I have to use Windows to access a Linux based phone. -- 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/1314556 Title: Unable to mount Android MTP device Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have the same problem on 3 computers with 14.04: So I tried, mtp-detect Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6 Listing raw device(s) Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP).
