Rhythmbox and Banshee crash when connecting Samsung Galaxy S II via MTP

Asked by Jordy Dickinson

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10.

Originally I noticed the problem in Rhythmbox and Banshee as the summary indicates, but I believe it's an MTP issue because of the output of the command `mtp-detect`:

A workaround is to mount the device as USB mass storage and sync that way.

It could be a access right problem.

Is there the same or a different output when you try the command

sudo mtp-detect

The ouput is very similar:

I'm reposting the output without the >s because LP hid it and I don't want it to be overlooked:

jordyd@whisper:~$ sudo mtp-detect
