[SeZo]

I think what you want is the mtpfs package.

@Mark
Take a look at this article how you can use a PPA which has the latest Gvfs MTP backend

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

can you post the output from:

Code: [Select]

uname -a

I'm currently looking at this:

Mint 14 is based on 12.10 right ?

and Mint doesn't update the kernel like Ubuntu ?

@ Toonman

Was it 12.04 where it worked ?

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Was it Ubuntu 12.04 where it worked ? .. or 12.10 ?

and what's the make/model/Android version of the phone ?

[SeZo]

@Mark

Mint 14 is based on 12.10 right ?

Yes Mint 14 is based on 12.10

and Mint doesn't update the kernel like Ubuntu ?

 and comes with kernel 3.5. Although not used it for a while, but as I remember it the kernel updates are the same as in Ubuntu
but not offered unless you set the preferences to 5 in the update manager.

[Toonman]

Sorry. I am on call with work tonight.  I will have to come back tomorrow.

Thanks Guys.

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

as I remember it the kernel updates are the same as in Ubuntu
but not offered unless you set the preferences to 5 in the update manager.

That's what I meant

According to that bug report, the bug appeared in kernel 3.3, and was fixed in 3.5.0-19 .. so I reckon just enabling the kernel updates, or running:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update

then:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get upgrade

should bring in a later kernel.

If you see any messages about the kernel being "held back" .. run:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Then reboot, and see which kernel you're now on with:

Code: [Select]

uname -a

Then check if you're still getting those errors in dmesg, and if things are working now.

It still is not working.



Mobile phone is Sony Experia Arc s Andriod 4.0

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Well that doesn't appear to have updated the kernel at all .. do you know how to set the mint updater to accept kernel updates ?

If so, try making level 5 updates visible and see if there's a kernel update.

If there isn't, we'll manually install kernel 3.6

[Toonman]

Sorry, I dont know how to set the Kernel updates.

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Shall we just try manually installing the 3.6 kernel ?

[EDIT]

If so, run these commands in sequence:

Code: [Select]

mkdir ~/Desktop/kernel3.6

then

Code: [Select]

cd ~/Desktop/kernel3.6

then

Code: [Select]

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6-quantal/linux-headers-3.6.0-030600-generic_3.6.0-030600.201209302035_i386.deb

then

Code: [Select]

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6-quantal/linux-headers-3.6.0-030600_3.6.0-030600.201209302035_all.deb

then

Code: [Select]

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6-quantal/linux-image-3.6.0-030600-generic_3.6.0-030600.201209302035_i386.deb

then

Code: [Select]

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6-quantal/linux-image-extra-3.6.0-030600-generic_3.6.0-030600.201209302035_i386.deb

then

Code: [Select]

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

When that command finishes .. REBOOT .. then send the output from:

Code: [Select]

uname -a

then unplug the phone (if plugged in), replug the phone, then send the output from:

Code: [Select]

dmesg | tail -n 25
