Description sonicbluesky 2024-07-13 18:17:15 UTC
Error - KIOExec
Malformed URL mtp:udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-5/1-5.3/.
OK

that is the title and message in an error window. after installing artix-base, i installed plasma, and did not have dolphin, nor was i aware i was "missing" dolphin (am i "missing" dolphin if i use plamsa without it? if plasma requires dolphin, then why isn't the package installed as a dependency?). i have thunar. if i plug my phone in, a pop-up appears from the systray. it shows SAMSUNG_Android. if i click "Open in File Manager", then that is when the above error message appears. if i then close that and go to thunar and try to open SAMSUNG_Android, it gives a different error message:

Error
Failed to mount "SAMSUNG Android".
Unable to open MTP device "001,016".
Close

if, however, i unplug my phone, reboot, and do NOT click on "Open in File Manager" but instead go straight to thunar and open, then i can access my phone.

couldn't take screen shot in wayland:

Error
Compositor does not support wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1
OK

if i use scrot to try to take a screenshot, the resulting image is pure black.

i don't know why the above error references a package with the word "unstable" in it. i am not trying to run anything "unstable". is wayland considered "unstable"?

when i couldn't get anything to work, i also downloaded a few gvfs mtp packages and tried android-file-transfer but nothing worked.
