There is nothing in 10-local.rules other than the one line I gave: $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="059a", NAME="WALKMAN"
I share your frustrations with it suddenly failing to work with the latest version of ubuntu, I really recommend you check out Philip Langdale's site and his response to my questions - which probably mirror your own. http://intr.overt.org/blog/?p=178&cpage=1#comment-17947 This is part of one of the answers he gave me: "Now, you’re probably going to tell me that this worked before, and it’s true that gvfs-gphoto2 appears to offer normal filesystem operations but it’s all a facade, as discussed elsewhere, and it’s constantly copying files to/from /tmp when you think it’s just reading and writing. This process is fragile and not something I would endorse. But if you really want to use rsync, it’s the only way. I’d recommend using go-mtpfs in that case or adding a udev rule to avoid marking the walkman as an MTP device so that gvfs-gphoto2 gets used again." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1183948 Title: Can not read/write files to walkman (MTP) Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: So today I connected walkamn to my ubuntu pc knowing that it used to work at least on every other versions of ubuntu I have tried, latest 12.10 So I connected it and it showed files and folders as it used to but when I try to play something, it did not work, vlc even showed an error massage [CODE]File reading failed:VLC could not open the file "/run/user/levan/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C006%5D/65537/7/6268".

Check the log for details.[/CODE] and I do not remember if it used to show the location of walkman as [CODE]mtp://[usb:001,006]/65537[/CODE] on other ubuntu for example (12.10) this thing used to work even better than on windows ??
