Step to reproduce the bug
1: Install the open fairephone os after flashing recovery part…
2. connect the fairephone te a linux computer
Computer comfiguration
xubuntu 17.10 64 bit
kernel version : uname -r
4.13.0-16-lowlatency
open fairephone os version :Fairphone open 17.11.2
Result : no icone show or mounted I could’nt access to any file
Note :
on close source fairephone os 17.11 whith google, an icon is shown when I connect the fairphone 2 but the folder is empty
on android 5.1 there is no this bug
The link’s articles seem very old (2012). I haven’t been able to install the programme despite following the instructions
My operating system is xubuntu 17.04
I have some people that have the same problem with fairephone os (with google) but with google the fairephone icon is shown but the directory is empty. With fairephone os open, the fairephone is not showing on the computer even with usb debug mode activated
You can also try to go via file-manager like Thunar to /run/user/[number of the ID of the xubuntu-user]/gvfs/
Thats the mount-point, if your FP2 was mounted correctly…
Even if “usb debuging” mode is active, my directory /run/user/[number of the ID of the xubuntu-user]/gvfs/ is empty, whether or not the fairphone is connected though usb
I don’t have any instructions for mounting FP2 on xubuntu 17.10 and I’m not sure that is mounted correctly
Note : fairephone os with google, the fairephone icon is shown but the directory is empty. But with fairephone os open (without google), the fairephone icon is never shown.
The solution I found (as my FPOOS was not updating anymore since Android 6) was : installing LineageOS which is Android 7, and mount the peripheral from bluetooth as explained here
