When I connect my Android cellphone to my home PC it does not show up in Nautilus - a nice cellphone icon labeled Android should show up on the sidebar but only additional CD-ROM shows up. No success with a different cellphone and a camera. On My home PC the gmpt can access both the cellphone internal and additional memories but Nautilus cannot do that anymore.



When I connect the phone to my office lapton then it shows up in Nautilus - both Android and CD-ROM shows up. It works perfectly.



Both computers: the same Ubuntu version, the same software installed, the same configurations. Maybe I've messed up something on my home PC while learning Ubuntu?



On my home PC the mtp-detect returns:



libmtp version: 1.1.13
Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=0b05 and PID=5f02) is a Asus Zenfone 2 ZE550ML (MTP).

and a lot of USB low-level info.



lsusb returns:

ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/018 returns:

On my office laptop the mtp-detect returns:

          The solution is to reinstall Nautilus:



          sudo apt-get remove nautilus
          sudo apt-get install nautilus


          I've found the results of the installation command especially interesting:



          The following additional packages will be installed:
          gvfs-backends
          (...)
          Selecting previously unselected package gvfs-backends.
          (...)
          Setting up gvfs-backends (1.36.1-0ubuntu1) ...


          It is possible I've removed gvfs-backends unwittingly while playing around with network and SMB.
