Comment 6 for bug 619161

I agree it is weird, never had a problem before, no idea why it's an issue now, I use rhythm box on a regular basis and this is the first time it's happened.

Running - mtp-detect in terminal gives the following -

libmtp version: 1.0.2

Listing raw device(s)
   No raw devices found.

And running mtp-connect in terminal gives the following -

Your system does not appear to have UTF-8 enabled ($LANG="en_GB.utf8")
If you want to have support for diacritics and Unicode characters,
please switch your locale to an UTF-8 locale, e.g. "en_US.UTF-8".
libmtp version: 1.0.2

No devices.

And running both commands gives the same results as far as the tablet is concerned, it stops working and the led flickers, the only way to stop it is to un-plug the thing.

Cheers.
