Mint 14.1 Not recognizing my Andriod device.

@ Sezo

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 ?

uname -a
Linux adammaureen-EQUIUM-L350 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:32:08 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
. 12.04

output

uname -a
Linux adammaureen-EQUIUM-L350 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:32:08 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

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

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

@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.

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

Thanks Guys.

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 :slight_smile:

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:

sudo apt-get update

then:

sudo apt-get upgrade

should bring in a later kernel.

If you see any messages about the kernel being “held back” … run:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

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

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

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

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

Shall we just try manually installing the 3.6 kernel ?

[EDIT]

If so, run these commands in sequence:

mkdir ~/Desktop/kernel3.6

then

cd ~/Desktop/kernel3.6

then

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

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

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

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

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

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

uname -a

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

dmesg | tail -n 25

Thanks. Give me a couple of days. Been called away again.

If my memory serves me correct, for me to mount my SGS3 / N7 in Ubuntu/Mint I had enable mass storage via USB settings on the phone / tablet, or enable UMS mode. Having had enough of the issues, I said f*** it, and just installed Samba on my Android devices. Much simpler, and easier.

Samba for Android - Google Play Store

Though it’s not “THE” solution you’re looking for, it is “a” solution. :slight_smile:

Sorry for the lengthy delay. I have been working away.

Output

I’ve asked this multiple times and you haven’t answered yet … Which version of Ubuntu did it work in ?

My apologies I thought I had.

UBUNTU 12.10 Also The Andriod operating system is 2.3 NOT 4.1 as I said in a previous post.

Thanks

Is this the SAME PC that it previously worked on ?

Seems odd that it would work on Ubuntu 12.10 but not Mint 14 as they use the same kernel series and the same(ish) repos … so I’m trying to figure out if anything else has changed ?

Yes it’s the same PC. Even more odd is the fact that I have now plugged in my Samsung Galaxy note 2 and it is instantly recognized. There have been no problems until the last week or so. No Andriod updates and as far as I know None for Mint. Now here is the really interesting news…it works with my netbook with Peppermint 3!

Just for comparison, can you plug it into the Peppermint 3 netbook, then send the output from:

dmesg | tail -n 30
