ubuntuphone does not connect to ubuntu desktop

Question

My BQ Ubuntuphone is not recognized by my Ubuntu-PC. Is there any special setting on either side to enable the connection?

I installed a new version of libmtp sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fossfreedom/libmtp sudo apt-get update sudo apt full-upgrade Now the phone is at least recognized but I cannot copy any file. — Ralf Hersel, Mar 29 '15 at 16:43

Install the latest version of libmtp

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fossfreedom/libmtp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt full-upgrade

This should make it so your phone is at least recognized. To access your data, you'll have to unlock your homescreen on the phone.
