This is what worked for me (based on your installed packages):
- - create a mountpoint (or use an existing one)
- - make sure you as user own it
- - enable allow_other in /etc/fuse.conf
- - make sure your in the fuse group
- - connect your device
- - unlock it and make sure it won't lock too fast again
because otherwise it will disconnect
- - sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /<yourmountpoint>
This will take _very_ long.
- - as soon as you got it, rsync from the device
With the current version of mtpfs available, I could not manage to
transfer files to the device, neither with rsync nor mc; it leads to
an immediate connection error and the device is no longer reachable.
I could however delete files on the device with mc. The reason why the
writing won't work is unknown to me, I got errors by doing so. Maybe
somebody else on the list can shed some light on that.
For the transfer of files to the device I use Dolphin that handles it
with kio-mtp and it works. It has other problems that I don't mention
here, bugs.kde.org lists them.
Whatever variant you pick, it seems to me that the whole MTP
implementation is still a bit buggy and slow. And don't get me wrong,
I'm grateful for the work done by the devs so far. I can live with it.
Compared to the USB connectivity I had with older Droids, the whole
MTP thing is not so nice. OTOH not losing the card on the device while
having it plugged is an advantage of MTP IMO.
HTH, ändu
