I am using Ubuntu 14.04 as well and I have the same problems with my Galaxy S3 mini (Android 4.1.2). If I plug in my phone I get an error message, that the phone can't be mounted. Then a window is opening where the internal and external storage of my phone is shown. I can browse through the folders but I can't open a file.
Rhythmbox only lists a portable player, and if I start syncing music only the internal storage of my phone is used. I can't access the external SD-card using rhythmbox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263355 Title: Unable to directly access files of any smartphone from Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmtp/+bug/1263355/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
