[Bug 903422] Re: Mount / Provide access to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) MTP devices

[Luigi Calderone]

USB connection attempt to a Galaxy Tab 7 plus.
I'm trying to connect a Galaxy Tab 7 plus to my PC (lubuntu 12.04). The usb connection works not so perfectly: lubuntu gives
this strange message: "Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device"

and asks if I prefer to open the device (a portable audio player ) with
vlc or open in file manager. Obviously I open file manager and I can see
the sd card directories but they are empty . If I try to copy files,
it's not allowed.
