Has anyone been able to connect Android MTP (phone/tablet) on Crouton?

Hi Crouton Users,

I am currious to know if anyone had gotten the MTP to work with Crouton? (via USB)

Been trying to follow this guide on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055563 (General Linux guide) but no luck so far.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I found a way to FTP into my phone via USB or WiFi now. Works, but still would like to know if MTP is possible?

Thanks!

Edit: here is a link to my blog showing how to FTP was done:

The "disk" group id (GID) almost certainly does not match Chromium OS's. I'm also not entirely sure Chromium OS even uses the disk group. Among a million other potential issues. How far have you gotten, and what are the error messages?

I pretty much followed instructions on this site (http://www.chromebook-linux.com/2011/12/connect-a-galaxy-nexus-to-your-chromebook-with-gnulinux.html) Then when I try to browse the folder, I get "Failed to open directory "mnt". Error when getting information for file '/mnt/SG3': Transport endpoint is not connected."

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 device, and trying to mount it as /mnt/SG3

It's possible that FUSE isn't working properly with the chroot, but I don't see any reason it shouldn't be able to work. Not sure what to poke at either, unfortunately. Keep us posted if you figure anything out.

Any luck?

I've given up on this a while back. Using ES File Folder's FTP feature on Android and connecting via Filezilla on Chromebook to transfer files now.

Okay. Updating GVFS to this might help, but closing anyway.
