Description

keysync is detecting that a mtp device is connected, but the following error occurs when gvfs-mtp isn't installed.

[user@comms ~]$ keysync-gui 
check_timer
Device 0 (VID=0fce and PID=0194) is a SONY Xperia Tablet Z MTP.

improve gvfs detection to allow systems with gvfs to also use pymtp

the logic was broken, using a test of 'darwin' to decide when to use MTP
this now tests whether the GVFS MTP is actually active, and if not it
then uses the pymtp method of transferring. This means it'll still sync
on gvfs systems when the gvfs MTP mount has been ejected, but the device
is still plugged in.
this also broke on systems without gvfs but with pymtp, fixes #2120

History

#1 Updated by abeluck over 4 years ago

Subject changed from mtp detection isn't quite right to mtp on linux breaks when gvfs isn't available

#2 Updated by abeluck over 4 years ago

This isn't working for me:

mtp: connect
Device 0 (VID=0fce and PID=0194) is a SONY Xperia Tablet Z MTP.
Android device detected, assigning default bug flags
mtp: sendfile /tmp/.keysync-fpL5go/otr_keystore.ofcaes otr_keystore.ofcaes
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I think it has to do with the fact that the destination should be SD card/otr_keystore.ofcaes or Internal storage/otr_keystore.ofcaes

#3 Updated by abeluck over 4 years ago

I was wrong, it occurs when otr_keystore.ofcaes already exists on the device.

Confirmed, this is actually #2079.
