MTP mounting
Hello all,
I've been trying to mount my HTC One m7 onto Jessie but my computer won't even recognize my phone. Are there any specific packages I need to be able to pass files between my phone and computer? I appreciate any help or being pointed in the right direction. |
Can you show us the dmesg output when your first connect the phone?
Code:
dmesg|tail Code:
journalctl -f These references might be helpful to you as well https://packages.debian.org/jessie/utils/mtp-tools https://wiki.debian.org/mtp |
Never mind
I found a way to fix this by using the "Connecting your Android phone or tablet to Ubuntu with MTPFS" part from the link. I substituted mtpfs with jmtpfs since mtpfs wasn't in the jessie repo. You mount the android phone by using jmtpfs /mounted/folder and unmount by running fusermount -u /mounted/folder. |
Yes, jmtpfs is a good way to go. Not hard at all. Glad it's working for you now. :)
|
Thanks!
I'm not sure if I needed to do all that or just install jmtpfs, but it worked in the end so I don't have any complaints. |
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I am looking for something more reliable than mtpfs to use with my phone. Is jmtpfs worth it? Can it mount the device with a simple click on the file manager (pcmanfm), just by using gvfs? This is all the mtp-related stuff I have now.
Code:
$ dpkg -l | grep mtp |
jmtpfs worked great for me and after installing gvfs-backends the device can be mounted by just clicking it on thunar.
|
Ok I will try it later on. Do I have to remove something from the above?
