Hello
Can someone tell me how I can mount my Prime in Ubuntu 11.10? I use Ubuntu as a VM (Virtualbox) and I can't get it to mount.
I tried sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /media/Transformer but the only thing I see in the file manager is the device (called Transformer) and in this device there's only one folder "playlists" w/o any content. Can someone help me? thanks in advance!

Hi,
does anyone know if there is a way to mount the extended ROM image under Windows?
I tried UWIN from Windows (from AT&T research), it seemed quite promising but I always got a "resource busy" error. Also the mount command is different from Linux, maybe I did some mistake...
I also tried Windows Services for Unix but MS's mount command is unable to mount files.
Does anyone know a tool or method to mount or edit that ROM under Windows?
Thanks,
Jeff
i searched and cant seem to find anything on my problem....i connect via mass storage mode , it detects the phone, but for some reason it doesnt let me access the files on the card....in other words ,i cant open them...any help ????
try opening the sd card with root access.
Open the terminal and type:
Code:
sudo nautilus /media/
Then just select one of your sd cards.
If this works to access them then you need to change the permissions to allow ubuntu to access them with read and write without root.
I am using it just fine on Ubuntu 10.4
I connect my phone and it is mounted automagically, and I can move the files from/to the phone.
Do you have se_linux installed?
It also works just fine for me. It may have to do with permissions on the folders when mounted. From a cli you may try running this command with the phone not connected:
sudo chown -R user:user /media
Just replace "user" with your username.
Then connect the phone and see what happens.
thanks, I'll give this a try, let you guys know tomorrow...
Gotta say it works on Ubuntu better then does on Windows XP. You may have some permissions fudged somewhere. Do as the guys above said and let us know.

In the phone's USB settings what do you have it set to?
Run
tail -f /var/log/messages
while connecting your phone, and when connected
ls -ltra /media
Post here and we will take a closer look

I'm having trouble getting a game to work in aDosbox. My problem is the game won't recognise the ISO I've mounted as the game CD and thus will bring up an error saying no CD inserted. This is what I've tried so far;
C is mounted as /sdcard/ which is fine as I have transfered the files from my PC into that /sdcard/ directory and cd/lba2 brings up C:/LBA2 so it works.
I've tried mounting d as follows: Imgmount d /sdcard/lba2/lba2.iso -t iso and also Mount d /sdcard/lba2/ -t cdrom but neither get me past the no CD screen. However I've mounted the D as above I've been able to get into the install setup through D:/>Install however I can't install it but it shouldn't matter as all the files needed have been transfered from my PC anyway.
Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks.

Your CD may need a label, which the game is specifically looking for. Also. make sure CDROM is capitalized.
mount d /sdcard/lba2 -t CDROM -label [cd label name when inserted into drive]
Can you get DosBox to load at all? For me it seems to load but then just goes away. I don't get a DOS prompt window.

yes you can:
- Install MTP and its tools:
sudo apt-get install mtpfs mtp-tools
- Create a mountpoint:
sudo mkdir -p -m 777 /mnt/hox
- Plugin your hox
- Mount the device manually:
mtpfs /mnt/hox
- Open your favourite file manager, go to /mnt/hox and transfer files from/to the device
- When finished, don't forget to dismount the device:
sudo umount /mnt/hox
you might also need libmtp

you might have to google for debian specific help, look for help on the galaxy nexus as that's well documented and has MTP
Does anybody know of a good method to mount android file systems (4.0+) on Linux? I want to be able to mount my sdcard remotely (TCP) and manage my files on my desktop. I've tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821601 but this is very buggy. I'd prefer a way to integrate mtpfs and mount to a directory.

this is IMHO best solution
