Another reason to hate phonetards. Recently moved from ubuntu 10.04 lts to debian jessie. ubuntu used to automount my media player as mass storage. Now debian wants to use mtp just to cater to phonetards. Of course none of the jmtpfs, mtp-tools, etc. stuff works on this device. Die, phonetards!

Two decades after its premiere, it's still mostly unusable. I had to laugh when I read a Ubuntu phone review from this total fanboi. See if anyone can spot what's wrong with the review of this *phone*? <quote> A month with the Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition: Problems: As of the latest update, I am unable to answer calls. When I receive a call and the decline/answer buttons appear, the touch screen seems to completely stop working. The only way to fix this is for the person to stop ringing you, or for you to reboot your phone. Conclusion: Overall I am very happy with it. Luckily I don't receive many calls so I can get by without the phone working for the time being. If you're a dedicated Ubuntu user, then I definitely recommend this. </quote> -- "about 70% of the iPads quit working on 3G when upgraded to iOS 7." The ronb (wRonG) liar.

He's happy with a phone that refuses to answer calls? Incredible.

What the hell was he smoking? Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux and the Linux fanboys. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. It's like a comedy club that's open 24x7x365. Well, he does say "if your a dedicated Ubuntu user" and since Ubuntu is known for piss poor reliability, the victim should feel right a home with an unreliable phone.

Typed like a true Snit, Michael Glasser. Your sock fools no one. It makes the same type of errors you commonly make when high on lacquer thinner.

What the hell was he smoking? That review is the most perfect example of how delusional the Linux losers in general are. I wouldn't be surprised to see Chris "AssStorm" Ahlstrom sell his children or Geoff "Wideload Porkster" Fitton double the number of toilets he cleans to buy one. -- A.M

Finally was able to access the device... with a Windows 7 VM. Of course even it still talked MTP. The irony of all the messages when releasing the device from the host mentioning "usb-storage" did not go unnoticed. Even a 10.04 LTS VM did not work. Gee thanks, Debian!

That seems unlikely. -- A.M

Philosophically-speaking, Debian is my favourite but I never had much like for how it operates outside of the command-line. It's great to run servers with but as a desktop operating system, I always preferred Fedora and Ubuntu. Debian's developers never thought much of providing a decent desktop experience from what I could tell. Of course, considering that the components used in Debian end up being used by its derivatives, perhaps all distributions are going to behave in that manner shortly? -- A.M

It's only the media player that it insists on talking to over mtp.
