I have a related problem: my Nexus S doesn't actually expose MTP, and so gvfs pops up an error dialog each time I plug it in
I checked, and this seems to have been already fixed upstream: (4e21 is the wrong id... 4e25 apparently is fine) http://sourceforge.net/p/libmtp/code/ci/master/tree/src/music-players.h If current devices truly have a different id when they have MTP enabled or not, I think that Ubuntu on phablet should just be a good citizen, and change it as well -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1160847 Title: gvfs should not attempt to mount MTP devices in an endless loop (cluttering your desktop with messages) Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: trying to use phablet-flash in raring to flash a phone or tablet (or when just running adb shell or adb root from commandline) causes a constant reconnect loop of an attached mtp device. it seems adb and gvfs try concurrently to establish a connection which results in permanent reconnects and a huge amount of mtp popup windows on the desktop PC.
