Yes, I see there is a topic with the exact same title, but I did not get anywhere near as far as the original poster in that thread.

# lsusb

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Plugging the phone in gets me nothing more than:
| Code: |
Feb 11 00:00:00 system kernel: usb 2-1.7: new high-speed USB device number 1 using ehci_hcd
|
The KDE Device Notifier does show it as a camera, and gives me the option of opening it with File Manager, but when I attempt that, I get a message that says "Could not read file. "Could not claim the USB device."
Unsurprisingly, KDE / Settings / System Settings / Hardware / Digital Camera / Configure Camera gives:
"Unable to initialize camera. Check your port settings and camera connectivity and try again."
I do have the ptp2 CAMERA flag enabled (the only one I have enabled) in libgphoto2.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance. |

Yes. Every other USB deviice (four external hard drives, three flash drives, and an old android tablet using mass storage are currently connected to the machine) mounts automatically without any difficulty. |

curmudgeon,
I just happened to run across this this in my travels. Not sure if you ran across it yet.
It appers that phone has a history of problems.
I doubt adding the user to the plugdev group, if you have one - I don't, is going to do anything. I'm pretty sure that group flew south a long time ago with hal.
