Same symptoms on ubuntu (no x) raring under LXDE/openbox, also Galaxy S3. Same happened with stock ROM and with AOKP.
Also, PCManFM file manager shows the phone under "Places" using various names 9 times (none of those entries work), in addition to the "mtp" and "Android" entries that actually do work. Screenshot shows original file (00001.vcf) and its copy on the local filesystem. ** Attachment added: "File Manager Screenshot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmtp/+bug/1205954/+attachment/3761493/+files/Screenshot%20from%202013-08-05%2010%3A31%3A25.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205954 Title: Transfering files from MTP device strips file & directory names.
