Public bug reported: My Sony Ericsson phone, model Xperia X10, is not recognized in both Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 (upgraded from 11.10).
I looked at the /usr/share/media-player-info/sony- ericsson_xperia-x10.mpi and it does not have the specific usb id for my device which is: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0fce:612e Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB (from lsusb). I tried to manually add the above id to the mpi file changind the line DeviceMatch=usb:0fce:312e;usb:0fce:d12e;usb:0fce:e12e; to DeviceMatch=usb:0fce:312e;usb:0fce:d12e;usb:0fce:e12e;usb:0fce:612e; But it did not work, which puzzled me. Another thing that comes to my mind is that some time ago Ubuntu used to ask me what to do with other media in the phone (like photos). That dialog is not appearing anymore. Maybe a more general system is broken? A possible workaround to make banshee and rhythmbox reconize the phone it is to use a .is_audio_player file.
