Comment 29 for bug 330383

Well, I downloaded, compiled and installed libmpt 1.0.0. Ubuntu Karmic comes with 0.3.7. After installing it and rebooting I could manage to get MTP mode to work but only if I connect the device while Rhythmbox is running (with the MTP Addon active of course). That way it seems that Rhythmbox "catches" the device and puts it in MTP mode. After that I can close Rhythmbox and use Gnomad2 or even mtp-detect normally.

If I connect the device without Rhythmbox running it just mounts and I can browse it normally. Running Rhythmbox (or Gnomad2) after that results in the device unmounting and not being able to access it unless unplugging and pluggin again.
