[SOLVED] Ubuntu Phone connection on Arch

Hi there!

I have some trouble with the BQ-Aquarius 4.5 - Ubuntu Phone. It won't be recognized by arch, and so the virtualbox-ubuntu neither...
When i am at work, and plug the phone to a windows machine, it will be recognized as mp3 player or something.

What should i try to get it mounted on arch? Has anybody a clue?

gvfs-mount -l... output doesnt change if plugged in or not.
/dev/sdx... nothing.

cheers

Maybe it's a MTP device.

Also, it would be better if you could give some details about your environment, i.e., which DE/WM are you using, because mtp detection will vary depending upon that.

I use xfce.

Read this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MT … e_managers

XFCE uses thunar, so you'll need gvfs-mtp installed.

Thanx x33a!

gvfs-mtp worked out of the box!
