From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Problem with File transfer (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hello Everybody I've been encountering a recent occurred Problem with my installation of Debian 12. When I plug in my Phone (Fairphone 4) to transfer some large files, it won't get recognized, which is odd because I do this every few Weeks and since a couple of months this keeps happening. It will something like:

Malformed URL mtp:udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-7/.

Unable to open MTP device "002,086".

I've installed gMTP, but that won't recognize my devices either. I also tried to manually go to the media and mnt directory but found nothing. Likewise, I switched cables, Phones and USB Ports.

At first, I thought it was a Dolphin issue because when I switched to the Thunar File Manager everything seemed to be flawless, but now it's even occurring on Thunar.

These are my Specs if it helps.

OS: Debian 12 bookworm
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 6.1.0-21-amd64
DE: KDE 5.103.0 / Plasma 5.27.5
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 @ 8x 4GHz
GPU: GeForce 720

Any Comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure that you've already checked, but the obvious things sometimes fly under the radar and go unnoticed: is the phone in file transfer mode in the first place? Other one (which has bitten me) is if you're using an usb-hub, try direct connection and/or different ports on the host computer.

Personally I've spent far too long to try and hunt down something obscure while the fix was really simple as some default option changed with updates or whatever. And in general I've forgotten to check the simple things first way too many times and that has caused wasted hours way more than I want to count or admit.
