MTP support?

mt12345 · 2015-12-11 13:57

What do I need to do to see my phone in Konqueror?

q4osteam · 2015-12-11 14:05

For MTP support in konqueror install 'kamera-trinity' package:
$ sudo apt-get install kamera-trinity

Another recommended app for fast data transfer between Android and Q4OS is 'gmtp':
$ sudo apt-get install gmtp
See documentation http://www.q4os.org/dqa007.html#android

Installed kamera-trinity, it works but I don't have permission to write on device.
'writing to camera is not supported'

gmpt hangs.

I use pcmanfm as temporary solution

documentation - thanks! missed that.

similar situation when I tried to remove flushplugin. It's tied to firefox.
metapackage problem?

'krusader-trinity' depends on 'q4os-desktop' package, it's one of required packages. You can install doublecommander still, no need to remove 'krusader-trinity'. Similarly 'flash-plugin-nonfree' depends on q4os-firefox. If you want to remove flashplugin, you have to uninstall q4os-firefox too. Instead of q4os-firefox, you can install Iceweasel without flashplugin.

'one tool per task', remember?

yes, I use iceweasel

Could you describe more exactly please ? We are not able to reproduce.

mt12345 · 2015-12-13 14:10

is detects phone but when I click CONNECT it gets greyed out and non responsive.

mt12345 · 2016-05-18 17:56

OK Im back with fresh install q4os from q4os-live-1.4.9-x64 iso.
I can only get mtp support in pcmanfm-qt (siduction repo).
Kamera-trinity installed, gmtp doesn't work.
How do you guys browse files on your android devices? Bluetooth? Wifi?!

Install GMTP:
$ sudo apt-get install gmtp
Reboot, connect your device with USB cable. Set MTP protocol on the Android device. Launch GMTP from start menu, click "Connect", wait a moment to connect the device and browse files. Please read http://www.q4os.org/dqa007.html#android

If you will encounter an error, you are welcome to ask help. Please describe exactly how to reproduce it.

gmtp hangs:

$ gmtp

** (gmtp:15788): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

anyway I want to copy files from/to device in regular file browser.
MTP works in pcmanfm-qt but pcmanfm-qt itself gives me more problems (icons, mime types, ark integration).
I don't remember how I managed double-commander to work last year. I navigate to /run/user/1000/gvfs/ but I find nothing there.

You should install 'at-spi2-core' package:
$ sudo apt-get install at-spi2-core

Which Android version does your device run on ? If it's older then 4.2, it's not probably supported by the Debian Jessie MTP library.

Android 4.4
mtp works fine in pcmanfm.

Hello everyone, I have Q4OS with Trinity desktop, the problem I have is that I do not recognize my android phone when I connect it as an MTP device, they could help me solve it. My phone is a Moto G4 Play

Follow these simple instructions and you should be good to go, but when connecting to the phone be patient as it can take some time to connect.

Hello everyone, I could solve it by installing dolphin as file explorer, the problem I have is that I only have the option of read only, it does not allow me to copy files neither to the internal memory nor to the micro SD, my phone has Android 7.1.1

You could try the instructions from my previous post...
