Bug ID: 356425 Summary: Dolphin browsing an MTP device precludes libgphoto2's access to it until dolphin is closed Product: dolphin Version: 15.08.2 Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: damonly...@gmail.com When Dolphin has accessed the contents of an MTP device, libgphoto2 is unable to access the device, even if Dolphin browsing another location e.g. the user's home directory. The device becomes free only when Dolphin is closed. Additionally, there is no way for the user to do the equivalent of a virtual "unmount" to ask Dolphin/Kdeinit5 via the GUI to relinquish exclusive control of the device. There also appears to be no way using the command line either. I tried solid-hardware unmount udi (supplying the correct UDI), but solid-hardware reported the MTP device 'does not have the interface StorageAccess". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. To confirm the MTP device is accessible by libgphoto2, plug in an unlocked android 4.0 + phone (for example), and from a terminal execute gphoto2 --list-folders That should work. 2. Open Dolphin and browse some folders on the phone. 3. Repeat step 1 while Dolphin is open. It fails. It makes no difference if the device is browsed in a different Dolphin tab. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
