[SOLVED] Andriod phone Not Showing

[dave r]

First, get rid of PCManFM. File manager is not the issue. Having PCManFM and Thunar on the same machine is a recipe for disaster unless you are an advanced user and know how to get the two to play nice together.

If your LL is 32bit, then open a terminal and do the following:

Code:

sudo apt-get install mtpfs libmtp9 libmtp-runtime libmtp-common mtp-tools libnet-smtp-ssl-perl

If your LL is 64bit, then open a terminal and do the following:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libmtp-common libmtp-runtime libmtp9:amd64 libnet-smtp-ssl-perl mtp-tools mtpfs

Reboot, and look for 'Android' on your Desktop or in Thunar in the left pane.

Works for me on LL using Lollipop on my Android.

That didn't work for me, but what has worked is upgrading to2.2, that why I didn't reply straight away, so whilst we haven't solved it I do have the phone working with the computer now.
