|
I have an LG p705, on windows I just set the USB mode to media sync and the device appears as lgxxxx with the contents of the storage and the storage card inside
in Linux i get nothing
Solution:
emerge libmtp, then emerge mtpfs, then create an entry in the fstab as follows:
mtpfs /home/adel/Desktop/android fuse user,noauto,allow_other 0 0
the mount point has to be a user accessible directory(a diectory accessible by the current user), I have been unable to mount to root accessible directories
then edit the /etc/fuse.conf and uncomment the user_allow_other
et voila
Thanks,
Adel

well I emerged libmtp, is there something else I'm supposed to do?
I don't think it worked, or maybe there's some step I've missed |

useflag mtp might help too _________________ “Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good and just and beautiful.”

The P705 user manual states that to access the device you do need to use the MTP protocol, so you will need to do a couple of things in order to mount it under Linux. Basically, install the library, libmtp, as you've indicated you've done, and then either install a FUSE mtp file system, such as mtpfs, and then mount the device on your system manually, or use an app that can directly access the mtp device, like gmtp. I was able to access my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7, using jmtpfs and the live ebuild of libmtp, as I posted here. The only caveat is that I have to manually mount the device after plugging it in. Here's three Gentoo forum threads that discussed connecting mtp devices under Gentoo;
