[Guide] Mount Internal Storage in Ubuntu

[Murphy2712]

I'm running Natty and Xoom Wifi (mz604) having done an update from Maverick.

After some trial and error eventually turned on usb debugging and lsusb returned correct id. Plus mounted correctly at /media/xoom with no errors

I also have a Xoom wifi and Natty and mtpfs doesn't work anymore.
"Error: Error stating file '/media/xoom': Transport endpoint is not connected
Please select another viewer and try again."

After I read your post, I disabled/reenabled usb debbugging and I now have the xoom in Places
But not in the xoom section (it still has the same error), it's now in a new "MZ604" folder.
When I check the url of this "folder" it's "gphoto2://[usb:002,009]/".
I suppose it's now automatically detected by ubuntu...

No matter what I do, Mounting with Ubuntu (Maverick and prior Lucid) is a PAIN.

-Turning on and off de-bug mode helps a little.
-Resting PC with xoom in debug helps too.

I am pretty sure I have done everything by the letters, and I'm able to mount and browse the Xoom.
However, when trying to transfer files from my Ubuntu 10.10 they appear to be copied over but then just disappears. No error messages.
Am I the only one? I noticed someone else said it appeared that the transferred files didn't transfer - I took that as they in fact were transferred, but mine are gone.

Ditto, I get exactly that behaviour too. I've had to resort to "adb push" to get files on to the device, which sucks donkey balls.

Yep, I gave up completely and got used to adb push.... which sucks cause its slow as balls. The USB mount app does not work either on ubuntu BTW.

Tried a windows 7 lappy the other day, and I was amazed at the ease of connectivity and speed of the Internal Mount file management. It killed me to see that, and we linux dudes stuck with crappy ADB push/pull that sucks and is slow as balls.

Hi everyone

My issue is very rare IMHO. I can see my Xoom connected and I can copy files, but Nautilus says my Xoom has 4 GB instead of the +20GB. Therefore I can not copy many files.

However, the tutorial is great and I appreciate it

Cheers!!

there has to be an easier way. this is ridiculous.

Thanks for this tutorial - I had a flight to catch in 1.5 hrs, wanted to copy a lot of MP3 from my PC to the Xoom, followed the steps - took at least 10-15 mins to get it working but was able to copy over the MP3s fine Was not letting me create sub-directories though :| Which was ok with me...

But this weekend, without any changes in my system settings, I'm unable to mount the Xoom using fuse/mtp

I'm on openSUSE 11.4 BTW, I'll try to see fiddle around more during this week to see if there is a smoother way to get it working....

Yes it is pretty bad, i had to resort to sd copy then insert in xoom. Crappy as heck.
Using latest ubuntu.

After many tries now I've a quite strange behavior:
I can browse the /media/Xoom folder even when the device is disconnected!!! (Z601)

Unluckily I can't write anything on it and the file I see are unreadable :-(

Every time I plug the xoom , two new devices pop up but, again, I can't browse them....

This is really, really, really frustrating.

Bye

I've tried to get this set up, and it worked for the first mount/unmount cycle and stopped after that. I'm not sure at all what would cause this to stop working after the first try, but I'm about to just resort to my old way of doing things.. with a microsd->usb adapter

If it helps any I'm running Gentoo Linux and the full sequence of events going on in the kernel from the time I plug in the Xoom until the time mtpfs segaults is as follows:

When I run the xoom-connect alias I've set to mount the Xoom, I get the following message (looks to me like everything is okay here until I try to access the folder)

Device 0 (VID=22b8 and PID=70a9) is a Google Inc (for Motorola) Xoom (ID 2).
