Hello,
I have a desktop PC with Arch Linux and a phone Pixel 4a. When I connect the Pixel to the PC via USB, it no longer appears in the file explorer thunar. It used to work before.
On the phone I have selected the USB file transfer option. When I type lsusb, this is what is displayed to me:
Bus 001 Device 023: ID 18d1:4ee1 Google Inc. Nexus/Pixel Device (MTP)What can I do so that I see the phone again in thunar?

I don't know exactly what has changed. I have not had the phone connected for some time. It worked before. In the meantime, some updates have already been installed.
I also flashed another Pixel with GrapheneOS in the meantime. I used this PC and followed these instructions: https://grapheneos.org/install/web#flashing-as-non-root - there it is described that android-udev should be installed. Maybe it was also that?

"gvfs-mtp" should be the only package required for thunar to access the phone.
you can try closing thunar and running pkill gvfs then open thunar and try again, failing that try running thunar from the terminal and see if there is any useful output, or check your journal.
refer to my post here for an alternative to mtp if you give up: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p2026247
