Known issue. Samsung phones don't work with mtpfs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 7638 *** Status:
NEW =>
RESOLVED Comment 1 does not take into account that (some - all?) Samsung phones do work with mtpfs in Mageia-7 - comments in bugzilla 7638 are not up to date. In Mageia-7 /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libmtp.rules there exists a long list of rules for - among others - Samsung phones that specify how these devices are to be mounted when they are connected to usb; at least for my Samsung S9, mounting and transfer over mtp worked perfectly with Mageia-7 In Cauldron this list has gone away, and .../.60-libmtp.rules has shrunk to a short stub - Samsung phones, therefore and evidently cannot work any more. The problem looks like a simple case of regression that should be easy to fix. How is this problem going to be handled - reopen this bug? shift the necessary activity to another bug? |
Description of problem: Exchanging files between a smartphone and Mageaia with mtp over USB works with Mageia-7, but not on Cauldron (for me, using Xfce/Thunar, but a similar problem appears to exist with Kde/dolphin. When the smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S9) is connected via USB, a "SAMSUNG" tab (correctly) appears in the sidebar of Thunar ("Devices" section) - but doing a right-click on that tab does not trigger any action - hitting "Open" produces the response is "Failed to mount "SAMSUNG Androi". No MTP devices found) - no action whatever with the other buttons - hovering over this tab launches a display:mtp://SAMSUNG_SAMSUNG_Android_23dc29813b057ece (/dev/bus/usb/001/012) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: see above Some observations: - Apparently, the Samsung device is recognised and connected as device 012 on bus 001 (according to the message when hovering over the button, and according to the fact that the node /dev/bus/usb/001/012 is created when the smartphone is connected - lsbusb does not "see" this, for bus 001 only devices 001 through 011 are listed - /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules contains many entries for Samsung devices, but nothing for Galaxy - as opposed to Mageia-7 where such entries exist. Looks like the automatic mounting process for this kind of usb devices is broken an Cauldron. - lots of bugs refer to similar problems, but most of these bugs are on previous Mageia releases, and got resolved in Mageia-7. There is one bug - bugzilla 21095 that has probably the same cause - somewhat arbitrary to have now filed a new bug - Note: on my system the mtpfs package is installed.
