I connect to my Samsung Galaxy S2 by USB from my Ubuntu 11.10 computer. It was working fine up until a few days ago.

Now, for reasons I can't determine, whenever I try to copy any files using the file manager (Nautilus), the transfer always stops at around 10 to 15% done, and then it hangs. The only way to kill the process is to disconnect the USB physically.

I thought maybe this was a problem with the SD card having an error, so I reformatted it, but that hasn't helped. Also, the same thing happens with the Galaxy's internal USB storage as well.

This seems to be an Ubuntu problem, as I tested transferring files on a Windows computer and it went through without any issues.

  • I flagged this for moderator attention, as it seems the issue has magically gone away, probably the result of upgrades or some other change.

Is your phone perhaps going into low power mode / screen lock? The native Ubuntu drivers may not be keeping it awake over USB.

It works fine for me on 10.04, but I also have ADB installed which may be making a difference. Have you tried installing ADB? (the Eclipse plugin is purely for devs, I don't have it installed myself)
