I've tried something different: http://ohheyitslou.blogspot.com/2011/12/galaxy-nexus-enable-mtp-file- transfer.html
Precise is up-to-date with the latest stable libmtp. BUT, it seems that mtpfs pulls down the entire tree from the phone before allowing access to the FS. If this is because libmtp operates that way, it might explain why there's a timeout in the GUI version: for anything but a basically empty phone, it's going to time out. A quick way of accessing at least *some* part of the phone's FS is to run the mount command like 'mtpfs -o allow_other /mnt/tmp/', wait a while, switch the phone to PTP, then back to MTP. You should be able to see the portion of the tree that downloaded. I checked how long it takes for the full tree to transfer, and it seems to be about 6.5 minutes. Is anybody from Ubuntu dealing with this, or should try our luck with the libmtp guys? And yeah, it does seem that the frustration is affecting me in mysterious ways :-p -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972311 Title: Accessing a MTP device like the Galaxy Nexus fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/972311/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
