OK, mtp-getfile needs [source] and [destination] as arguments. What are these and how do I find out what they are? How do I know the name of the device, etc. ??
What I tried so far:
- gnomad2 - used 'apt-get install gnomad2' to install, which automatically installed libmtp5. But gnomad2 does not find any device!?
- amarok - used 'apt-get install amarok' to install, which also installed a whole bunch of other things and libraries. But amarok also does find any deveice! Neither MTB, USB, iPod or iRiver...
- usbview - gives me alist of devices that are present at my USB ports: including the MP3 Player with vendor id, product id, serial number and so on...
- lsusb - however, does not find anything!
- /etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp.rules - I added a line identifying my player with vendor id (04e8) and product id (5081), the information I found with usbview... did I miss something?
I also read somewhere that amarok may have been compiled without MTP support. Should I try to uninstall it and reinstall from source with the corresponding options? But I doubt this is the problem since gnomad2 is compiled with MTP support (auto-installed the lib as a dependency) and does not find my device...
Trying 'mtp-detect' gives the follwong output:
$ mtp-detect
This is not a Microsoft MTP descriptor...

No MTP devices.
No devices.
'dmesg | tail' gives me this:
$ dmesg | tail

--- EDIT ---
Just found out another thing: 'mtp-hotplug' does not seem to look for my type of device!? The K5 is in the list, the K3 is not...
$ mtp-hotplug | grep K5
# Samsung YP-K5
$ mtp-hotplug | grep K3
