How do I mount my android phone in Ubuntu Focal?(SOLVED)

Post by soniabu »

Hi everyone.
As I wrote in another post I am testing Ubuntu 20.04 focal.
I am faced with this problem:
when I connected my android phone to the USB of the PC with Bionicpup64 the fiction of mount appeared instantly - on the Desktop - and once I gave 'ok' the Android folder appeared;
now that i do the same thing with ubuntu 20.04 Ff. all this doesn't happen and i can't transfer any files from android to ubuntu.
In Synaptic I have seen that I have installed both 'libmtp-common' and 'libmtp9' (which I believe are needed to transfer files).
Could you kindly tell me if these two softwares are sufficient or if still more is missing and so that's why I can't connect the phone?

p.s
However I did it this way using an AppImage:
Android File Transfer for Linux
but i don't like it so i preferred as it was in Bionicpup64.
Can anyone suggest me an alternative to the AppImage?

Get CamPhoneTab from here.

It should get the same required packages out of Ubuntu as Debian.

Be aware that CamPhoneTab does not attempt auto-detection of devices. Run it from the Accessories menu.

oh thanks for the information Easyshare (Easyos I'll try It).
I would like to use bluetooth but there is no application under the network function, I don't know why.
