Can't Connect Phone After Upgrade To Carbon

Worked fine in Boron, though I think I had to change something in a file and I can't remember what it was.

Carbon is having none of it.

Re: Can't Connect Phone After Upgrade To Carbon

There is also gvs-mtp, although I do not see that in Debian.

gvsf-fuse maybe?

Description: userspace virtual filesystem - fuse server
gvfs is a userspace virtual filesystem where mounts run as separate processes
which you talk to via D-Bus. It also contains a gio module that seamlessly
adds gvfs support to all applications using the gio API. It also supports
exposing the gvfs mounts to non-gio applications using fuse.

This package contains the gvfs-fuse server that exports gvfs mounts to all
applications using FUSE.

In Debian there is also: gmtp - simple file transfer program for MTP base

Description: simple file transfer program for MTP based devices
gMTP is a simple and light-weight interface to the features provided by
libmtp, which allows users to manage the files stored on any MTP music player
supported by the libraries, including those with multiple storage devices
(e.g. mobile phones).

It doesn't provide complex features such as playlist management, it just makes
transferring files from and to devices easy, by allowing users to upload,
download and remove files on the device with a fast and easy-to-use graphical
interface.

Is this via the USB cable or KDE Connect? What version of Android? Has your phone had an update? Confirmed settings are correct in the Developer menu of your phone?

Whoops.  I'm trying to connect via Bluetooth.  I forgot to mention that.  The phone doesn't have an OS that I'm aware of.

I mean, it has some kind of OS, but I'll be buggered if I know what it is

Re: Can't Connect Phone After Upgrade To Carbon

It's pretty easy to find out what you're using.

We really can't help without knowing what your using. The version of bluetooth your phone uses as well. All of these should be listed in your phones settings app.

Is your phone anything like this?

Model number of the phone would help. Do you have any other bluetooth devices that connect to the same bluetooth connection on your PC? Test something to see if it connects.

Other than that I have nothing else to offer sorry.

Re: Can't Connect Phone After Upgrade To Carbon

Do you have bluez  and bluez-firmware installed?

You may also need to add your user to the Bluetooth group.
