Mtp not detecting Android in Ubuntu 16.04
Ubuntu is not showing my android device.
I tried to install libmtp* mtp* and also reinstalled it And also try to put device information in udev.rules' relevant file
Answer
try installing mtpfs
sudo apt-get install mtpfs
and install mtp-tools
sudo apt-get install mtp-tools
if you have installed mtpfs and your device is still not recognized ( enable mtp mode on your device ) run mtp-detect
the output should look like this :
Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=1234 and PID=5678) is ...
followed by specific phone information
the udev editing can be done like :
open /etc/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules with root. if this file does not exist yet copy it from /lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules
in this file you add the following line ( with adapted vid, pid, ... )
ATTR{idVendor}=="1234", ATTR{idProduct}=="5678", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="disk", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"
and reload udev
