Uploading pictures from cellphone to Ubuntu
My son built me a new desktop from the ground up, which works beautifully, but I'm new to Linux (Ubuntu) and learning as I go. Since my computer is custom, I don't have any "instructions" to lean on. I want to upload pictures from my cell phone, but don't know how because I'm not very computer literate (sorry!). I have tried plugging in my LG G3 phone with a USB cable, but my computer doesn't seem to respond to it. Nothing happens. Can someone give me some pointers? Thanks!
Thanks so much, Ztcoracat, I did manage to get all the pictures printed out that I needed by using your idea of emailing them to my email address and then printing them out from there. Great idea and good advice!! Thanks again!! |
Hi & Welcome to Linux Questions.
I have an idea but it doesn't require a cable plugged into your computer. You'll probably need MTP, Media Transfer Protocol. https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applicat...ise/mtp-tools/ Look in your Ubuntu Software Center and see if MTP is available and install install it and than reboot. You can try running: Code:
lsusb You can also create an e-mail on your phone and attach the pictures that you want in the e-mail and send it to your e-mail inbox. Open your e-mail on your desktop and download to your PC from your e-mail account. |
