Hi !
I would like to access the files stored in a Samsung Galaxy S3 through USB with SLED 11 SP2.
I tried this : http://software.opensuse.org/package/jmtpfs?search_term=jmtpfs
Unfortunately I cannot install it due to a dependency issue (libmtp9 missing).
Is it possible to browse an Android 4.x device with SLED 11 SP2 ?
Regards,
Arnaud
Hi
That’s my package 
It’s there in the repository for SLE;
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/malcolmlewis:/SLE_11_SPn_General/SLE_11_SP2/
You may need to tweak the udev rule for your device based on the Vendor
and Product ID’s.

Thanks.
I have still some problems (nothing appears in the mounting point) :
After a dmesg command, here the results :

Then I edited the file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules as follow :
[QUOTE]# Android devices - UDEV Rule
SUBSYSTEM==“usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==“04e8”, ATTRS{idProduct}==“6860”, SYMLINK+=“libmtp-%k”, MODE=“0666”, GROUP=“users”
RUN+=“udev-acl --action=$env{action} --device=$env{DEVNAME}”
[/QUOTE]
Then I typed :
jmtpfs -o allow_other /home/arnaud/transformer
fusermount -u /home/arnaud/transformer
But the folder /home/arnaud/transformer remains empty.
any idea ?
Edit : the jmtpfs triggers the following message :
Error: Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading.
Hi
Did you restart udev?
udevadm triggerThe fuse config is already done so it’s already set to allow.

I followed the thread.

I managed to get it working : Nautilus does not recognize the Filesystem, but Midnight commander does. Really strange, but it works.
Hopefully it will be straightforward with SLED 12…
Hi
So what did you finally do to get it to work?
If you start nautilus from the command line, do you get any output as
to why it’s not seeing it?

Strangely it works now even with Nautilus. It seems I have to unlock the phone to get the partition properly mounted
Just a thought as you are a SUSE developer : why not integrate this package in SLED 12 / OpenSUSE 13.x and develop a tools like we have for PalmOS to easily mount an Android device ? It would be an asset especially for a corporate distribution.
