[Solved] LXDE PcmanFM mtp phone mount problems

vwyodajl · 2013-11-05 08:16:28

I just installed Arch on a new laptop and went with the lxde desktop. It is starting through LXDM. I followed the wiki about the extra pcmanfm would need to mount such as gvfs. I installed that and gvfs-mtp. Pcmanfm mounts my USB drives normally and I can access them and modify files with no issues. At least none that I can find in journalctl. The problem happens when I try and access my phone once its automounted by pcmanfm. It shows that its mounted in pcmanfm but it shows up twice, once showing phone (Samsung Note2) and another just saying mtp. If I click the Samsung one it just goes to mtp. Now the problem is if I try and access any files on my phone I get Operation not permitted[1]. Even though I did follow the wiki saying to solve that is to solve gvfs. I also added the suggested add for Not Authorized[2]. I also have android-udev[4] installed.

Full error opening a picture:

Failed to open file '/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C004%5D/Phone/DCIM/Camera/20130914_152216.jpg': Operation not supported

I read in a post[3] that gvfs-mtp is actually not required for what I want. So if I remove that, reboot, plug in phone. Pcmanfm does not even mount it and nothing in journalctl or dmesg giving me some kind of error. So I am assuming now gvfs-mtp is required.

I thought maybe it was permission but it is owned by my user and its group, so I do not think that is it.

ls -la /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp\:host\=%5Busb%3A001%2C003%5D/Phone/DCIM/Camera/

What am I missing here? Thanks for any help on this and your time.

EDIT: While trying to test with debugging on and off on my phone I found a gvfs related permission error for systemd-tmpfiles and a kernel panic after

So far other than this I can't sort out what is happening here for me. I am out of ideas for now so guess that means bedtime. Thanks

Well I am still at a loss as to what the actual issue is here. I still feel like it's permissions, but am unsure as there is nothing more than the message posted above about not being able to actually open files on mtp.

I have gone through everything in the wiki and what I can find in posts. I also tried installing thunar and thunar-volman and I get the same problem.

Failed to open file '/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C003%5D/Phone/DCIM/Camera/20130914_152125.jpg': Operation not supported

Thunar also shows the phone twice like pcmanfm. It shows under Devices Samsung, then in Network it shows mtp.

Did you resolve pcmanFM mounting/showing device twice and how?

So far, i tried installing nemo as file manager and it displays device correctly with one MTP mount point with name of the device (Nexus 6).

Yet PCmanFM displays two MTPs, just like you described: One is showing the phone with proper name (Nexus 6) and then the 2nd unnecessary MTP.
Here is a picture of the bug:

Op maybe look at android-file-transfer-git from AUR if MTP continues to fail. Personaly i got MTP to work on S4 by using simple-mtpfs and swapping USB cables.
