GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 590311
MTP / gphoto2 driver not displaying files on device in nautilus
Last modified: 2010-10-04 07:45:21 UTC
Please describe the problem: In Ubuntu 9.04 (64-bit) when I connect Sony MP3 player NWZ-S615F, Nautilus (1:2.26.2-0ubuntu2) shows "These files are on a digital audio player" with a button to open Rhythmbox, and does not display the files (just blank empty list, and "gphoto2://[usb:001,011]/" in the address bar). Rhythmbox also doesn't seem to recognize it, and I wasn't able to connect to it via other media-player applications in Linux. Steps to reproduce: take a Sony MP3 player NWZ-S615F and plug it in Actual results: nautilus opens but the files which are on the player are not displayed (just an empty window with "These files are on a digital audio player" Expected results: nautilus should open and the files on the device should be visible just like any USB removable device [memory-stick] (then I would drag/drop files to/from the device from my hard-drive) Does this happen every time? Yes. The only ways I have found to "trick" nautilus into not trying to display as MTP device (but just treat as removable disk) are: 1. to mess around with installing/uninstalling nautilus or libgphoto2 and then open the device in nautilus 2. to mount the device in a virtualbox windows session and then unmount it (ubuntu then mounts it as a standard USB removable disk) Other information: When I uninstall nautilus completely, Dolphin does correctly display the device as a standard USB removable device Bug originally posted at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/405823
