Actually after doing some googling, there may be something to this. Apparently some devices don't like being probed and I see that the file /lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules consists mostly of rules to avoid probing certain device IDs, so I added this rule for my kindle: # My old kindle never seems to mount properly if probed to see # if it is MTP (it isn't) ATTR{idVendor}=="1949", ATTR{idProduct}=="0004", GOTO="libmtp_rules_end" I'll see if I have any trouble mounting it in the future. Certainly all the "this isn't an MTP device" messages have now gone away. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
