When I connect my BQ Ubuntu via USB to Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 nothing happens but I checked it with a Windows Xp computer and it runs ok.

Please some help!

*Ubuntu just released an update and now it works for me.

  • no problems here (lubuntu 14.04). I open the file manager and in places see the phone Aquaris E4.5, actually the path is mtp://[usb:001,003]/Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition.

I just tried and had the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04. Then I unplugged it and unlocked the phone (I have a PIN lock). I tried again after having unlocked the phone and it worked.

  • That doesn't run for me either even running in a 14.04 live.

I was having the exact same issue, but it seems that I found a solution for me. I was plugging it to a USB hub and it didn't recognize it. Now I tried to plug it directly to one of my computers USB ports and that worked just fine. I hope that helps!

  • So I don't have a hub, I plug it directly to my computer USB ports but nothing happens. I tried it with a Ubuntu 14.04 live pendrive getting the same issue.

I followed the instructions of write-mem in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2226702. Previously, I have also installed mtpfs, but do not know if it was necessary.

  • But that is for Android devices, I can connect my Samsung Android without problems to Ubuntu 14.04. As well as I am not an advanced user to do that.

  • I need to do that for my bq ubuntu edition in my ubuntu desktop. The strange thing is that my lubuntu laptop recognizes the phone directly.
