Also have this problem - on Linux Mint 19.3, XFCE with a Samsung S7. This worked fine under Mint 17.1 - listing 3500 jpeg files took 20 seconds; usually less. Now when trying to read the same directory which is now only 2500 jpeg files, both Thunar and PCMANFM take > 20 MINUTES to generate a file listing - a slowdown by a factor of 60 for a thousand fewer files. But once the listing shows up, I can scroll and do file transfers just fine. Directories of only a few hundred jpegs on the phone come up almost instantly. I can't get a more recent version of the libmtp than 1.1.13 from the repository, and I get errors that state "Dependency is not satisfiable: libmpt9(=1.1.17-2)" when I try the other solutions mentioned previously.
This is a deal breaker. Downloading pictures from my phone is one of the most common operations I perform. At this point, I may have to reconsider going back to Windows 10, which at least gets the job done - it takes roughly 40 seconds to do the directory on those 2500 files. -- 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/1792085 Title: Regression: MTP not working/very slow Status in libmtp: New Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, unfortunately (for me) MTP android devices no more work on Ubuntu 18.04. I have used MTP on 16.04 without problems, but on 18.04 it does not work. When I connect my Android devices (Samsung A5 and Samsung J3) and I try to list directories with many files (e.g. /DCIM/Camera) the window hangs until I disconnect the device. Same issue if I try to post the command "ls /var/run/1000/gvfs/<MTP-FOLDER>". I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 on two different machines - an older HP laptop and a recent DELL laptop - and the issue is present on the all of them. I suspect a defect on the "libmtp". I tried many alternative solutions suggested by the net (e.g. jmtpfs and so on) but anyone worked. That's all!
