Public bug reported:
I recently got myself a spanking new Nokia 5310 (xpressmusic) mobile
phone, which uses a MicroSD card and is connectable through a Micro-USB
cable.
I dualboot Intrepid and Windows XP (for those pesky gaming needs), and
run an Asus EEE 900 on the side dualbooting EEEUbuntu and Windows XP.
In XP on both machines, I'm very much able to see the phone as a regular
USB mass storage device. No funny business.
In EEEUbuntu, the phone is instantly recognized and mounted as an USB
mass storage device. Again, no funny business.
However, my Intrepid install refuses to play along. I get an incredibly
annoying error message, as follows:
Unable to mount Nokia Mobile Phones Nokia 5310 XpressMusic.
Failed to get folder list: -1: Unspecified error
This error message only comes up the first time I try to plug the device
in after a reboot, irrelevant of user login etc. In kde-hal-device-
manager (which i installed because I could not find anything similar for
Gnome) I can see the phone just fine.
I have purged and reinstalled HAL (and all associated packages). No
change. Since the DBUS package is tied up in all kinds of packages I'd
rather not have to reinstall later, I've only tried aptitude
reinstall:ing it. No change.
Others have reported the same kind of problem with Nokia 5610's, 3500c's
and even a Canon PowerShot S3 IS digital camera. Not sure if the
camera's error is really related, but the Nokias seem consistent.
In short: Something between Hardy and Intrepid broke support for several Nokia
phones. Now all we get is a strange unhelpful error message.
What I expected to happen: Ubuntu finding my phone and mounting it like any
other USB mass storage device (like windows, and Hardy, do).
What happened instead: Got strange error message.
