yum install simple-mtpfs
This won't work, of course, if your USB device is really a USB storage
device that Gnome has decided, for some dumb reason, is really an MTP
only device.
This is what F21's Gnome decided my MP3 player was. After updating to
F21, I could not mount my MP3 player any more. What was, for several
years, a USB storage device, was now allegedly an MTP device. Which
works as well as you can probably expect.
After I received no response to my bug report, I simply bit the bullet
and switched my last workstation to XFCE. Unlike Gnome, F21's XFCE
desktop can mount my MP3 player just fine, with no issues.
In my case then, it is mate DT that is the guilty party.
I am loath to switch to xfce or lxde just for the darned phone.
I am certainly no happy with the directions that DT's seem
to be heading.
One solution I found is that I have a flash reader/writer usb adapter
and that gets mounted like traditional flash disks.
I can remove the flash from the phone and put it in the adapter
and slip it into my laptop's usb port.
Cheers,
JD
