Dear Trisquel users,

How do you mount Replicant?
Current Replicant version, Trisquel 7 doesn't detect.

Steps taken:
Tried different USB ports, restarted Trisquel, restarted Replicant.

Thank you.

In replicant, there should be an option to connect your phone as a "mass storage device" via usb.
You have to select this setting. Unfortunately, I cannot recall quite where it was, maybe others can tell you.

If this option is already set, you can do the following:
- remove your phone from the pc
- type "lsusb" in the terminal and post the output here
- reconnect your phone to the pc
- type "lsusb" in the terminal again and post the output

With this information we hopefully can help better.

The option to connect your phone as "mass storage device" via usb:

Source: https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/39/topics/9957?r=9963#message-9963
"Settings -> Storage -> tap on the three dot menu (top right) -> USB computer connection"
is not possible.

Terminal Emulator on Replicant then.
"setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb", I guess (s)he means
"setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage adb"
which is my input in the terminal emulator, I get back
"usage: set prop NAME VALUE
Sets an ndroid system property
setprop: max 2 arguments"

Then I found the "Storage & USB" app

Also, no option to set the phone as "mass storage device" via USB.

Thank you.

In replicant tyou have to enable USB debugging under developer options.

When pluging the phone into your computer, the phone should give you a notification about allowing USB debugging via this computer. Accept the fingerprint.

In the panel of your phone, touch the notification about USB for charging and choose File Transfer.

I had the same problem here is the solution:

As mentioned before, first you need to activate the "Android Debugging" Option under the developer options and then scroll down to the "Network" settings to enable under "USB-Configuration" the point MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).

Now it should work.
