[solved] mtpfs crashes with my Nexus 7

[DeKa]

Nexus4 and thunar is working fine with kernel 3.10

I'm not having any luck in KDE.  Notification is still showing only 2 choices, Gwenview and Digicam.  I'm still playing with it.

Did you try some other desktop session to avoid possible KDE services quirks to mtp.
May be from live media to avoid a 'scrambled' /home/$USER.

I think the problem is 2 fold:
1) The absence of kio-mtp
2) My Galaxy Nexus isn't rooted.

With distros like Fedora and openSUSE, where kio-mtp is available, I get 4 choices.  The bottom 2 choices are both Dolphin, one reading mtp:/ and one reading camera:/.  The phone is set to mtp.  Funny though, I can see file choices under camera (PTP) but not mtp.  I am getting the "Phone must not be rooted" error using openSUSE and Fedora when trying to access the Dolphin mtp choice.

mtp-detect shows me:
goineasy9@siduction64kdeFX:~$ mtp-detect
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6

along with a long printout of the Galaxy Nexus' abilities.

Right now I'm going to follow DeepDayze's advice and try my rooted GTablet, that is, as soon as I find the special mini usb cable that came with it.

Today I installed kio-mtp. Now the Nexus 7 is recognized as a "Tragbarer Medienspieler" aka mobile mediaplyer. But mounting is not possible.

For no reason libmtp-runtime wasn't installed on my system. Now it works.

I don't know if I need it, but I have installed libmtp-runtime, libmitp9, libmtp-common, mtpfs on my system and I still have issues when trying to access my HTC One X smartphone.  

Dolphin (file manager) shows up twice when the phone supposedly mounts.  If I'm lucky, I'll see 'mtp:  > HTC One X > Internal storage.   So, I click DCIM. > 100MEDIA.

For e.g., I click an image and Gwenview loads with the final result, a dark grey screen and the circular dots going.   But, no picture ever loads.   I also cannot play videos that are on the phone -at all.

I guess my system is messed up.   This isn't on siduction but I am bringing this up because my Debian Testing distro outputs similar stuff.  Both are KDE, though.

I plan to try a siduction install on another HDD with LXDE or XFCE but not sure on the DE yet.   I guess I can install an additional one if need be.   I was just wondering if the DE has anything to do with how the device mounts or accesses the device.
