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:

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.
