Hello, I got me an Ubuntu Phone lately but my pc cannot find the phone when I connect it through USB? I had absolutely no problems connecting my other smarthpone -which is literally dead for quite a while now- which ran an Android 4 version (it was also a pretty old smartphone) and other peripheral USB devices like these with my Linux pc. I'm running Fedora 20 on a Linux 3 kernel.

Now it's working! I guess installing the richt mtp package, updating and rebooting worked as it now gets recognised and I can go through the folders everytime I plug it in.
