[Bug 1797890] Re: Enhancement-Kindle fire HD 8
After testing out the newer version of libmtp v1.1.18, I was able to get
even the current version of Calibre working (as long as I unmounted the
device from Nautilus / GVFS first!)
Here is the initial error if the device is already automounted by GVFS:
Device 0 (VID=1949 and PID=0581) is a Amazon Kindle Fire HD8 Plus.

To work around Ubuntu's GVFS automount behavior:
- Open Nautilus
- Find your device's product ID name in the mounted filesystems list
- Click the Eject button
- Now open Calibre
After making sure only Calibre is managing the MTP device, it works
fine!
Resolution: Update to libmtp >= 1.1.18

That error means your device is being opened by the desktop environmnet/file manager. Prevent it from being auto-mounted and you will be fine. On Linux, only one program can talk to an MTP based device at a time. ** Changed in: calibre Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797890 Title: Enhancement-Kindle fire HD 8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1797890/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1797890] Re: Enhancement-Kindle fire HD 8
Same issue observed in calibre 4.99.4+dfsg+really4.12.0-1build1
on Focal 20.04 LTS
with Kindle Fire HD 8 plus (10th generation)
Following the guide here seems to help: https://manual.calibre-
ebook.com/faq.html#android-usb
If you miss or can't find the USB notification by swiping down:
- Swipe down from top of the device's screen
- Swipe down again to expand the system control widgets (WiFi, Bluetooth,
etc...)
- Tap the Gear icon in the lower right to open Settings (OR just tap
"Settings" icon from the device's homescreen)
- Tap "Connected Devices"
- Tap "USB"
- Under "Use USB for", tap "File Transfer"
Note: When trying to switch "USB controlled by" to "Connected device",
it did not seem to work and just says "Couldn't switch".
After enabling File Transfer mode, the device was mounted under an
unusual path (when compared to most standard USB mass storage devices):
/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=Amazon_XX_/Internal storage
The device's product ID and serial number should be listed in place of
the X's.
After doing this, I opened up Calibre via the command line. It threw
this exception error:
Device 0 (VID=1949 and PID=0581) is UNKNOWN in libmtp v1.1.17.
Please report this VID/PID and the device model to the libmtp development team

busnum=1 and devnum=35, tried 1 such devices
So in this case it appears to be an error caused by an unrecognizable device in
the current version of libmtp:
Device 0 (VID=1949 and PID=0581) is UNKNOWN in libmtp v1.1.17.
The packages in Ubuntu's official repository are probably due for an update.
Updating libmtp would probably enable many new devices to work under Ubuntu.
Calibre is currently at version: 5.6.0
libmtp is currently at 1.1.18
