Anno domini 2020 Wed, 28 Oct 17:30:24 -0400 BorgLabs - Kate Draven scripsit: Could it be that it's not necessarily the TDE version that is causing problems but the smartphone? I've never managed to get MTP working on my testobject "Samsung Note II + LinageOS". nik

There are also many community ports for various makes and models) What is bothering me is this: [Wed Oct 28 09:26:39 2020] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk [Wed Oct 28 09:26:40 2020] usb 2-1.3: USB disconnect, device number 21 [Wed Oct 28 09:26:42 2020] usb 2-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 22 using ehci-pci It recognizes as removable this but then it says disconnect 21 and new high-spped blah blah 22. May be I ask in Debian User

It could be the "camera protocol" used by TDE is the problem, because I can see and browse through the content in konqueror, but can not create directory or copy a file in already existing directories. But as far as I understand with MTP one could create directory on the device or save a file. It might be a project for someone or for me to create TDE MTP protocol for konqueror.

But here goes ... When I was using the MATE desktop, I noticed that the MATE file manager, Caja, *does* recognize the file system on my current smartphone, when attached by a USB. (I was installing TDE packages, and had not yet got back home into TDE.) I could browse the directories, look at files, etc.; yet I could not write or make changes to anything on the phone, nor delete items. For that, I got myself a card reader, and generally keep everything important on an SD card. (I searched for the thread, but cannot find it; I remember giving some more details about the connection, but it's buried somewhere in my emails.) I *believe* that I recall the connections were listed as mtp://whatever Whether I could somehow use Caja (or preferably Konqueror) to read and write to the phone is another question. I did try changing permissions, but for that, I believe I would need to root my phone, and I haven't wanted to take that step yet, until I am sure that I have a backup plan. (I have a failed hard drive full of inaccessible data to remind me of such folly, and a bricked smartphone would be worse in some ways.) I am not suggesting using MATE or Konqueror, only testifying that it is possible to get my desktop to recognize the phone like a connected hard drive, to browse directories and files, etc. So as I said, the problem, it seems to me, has something to do with changing permissions, or rooting the phone.

I had to go sudo even to see the directories; I did a 'sudo mv' on a file and it worked. I just opened Konqueror and strangely it doesn't even show the mountpoint. I don't understand that. I guess it's not really treated like a normal mountpoint. I may have missed the sense of the thread; must access happen via Konqueror? I would also make sure of the quality of the usb cable. fjd

"cp: cannot create regular file 'mnt/Card/check-in.pdf': Function not implemented" Konqueror just says "could not write...."

As I mentioned in earlier thread - it would probably be good to port kio-mtp to tdeio-mtp:
