CamPhoneTab - USB interface for cameras/phones/tablets

[rcrsn51]

@Sylvander: If the terminal window shows "Connected", you should be good.

Click the View button. If the ROX window is empty, click the ROX Rescan button - the blue Recycle symbol on the tool bar.

In relation to the "Nokia Lumia 610:

1.

@Sylvander: If the terminal window shows "Connected", you should be good.
Click the View button. If the ROX window is empty, click the ROX Rescan button - the blue Recycle symbol on the tool bar.

a. "Connected" is shown.
b. When I click the "View" button, the ROX window is empty.
c. When I click the blue "Rescan directory contents" button, it shows "(Scanning)" for a half-second or so, but no change, CamPhoneTab folder still empty.

@Semme
2. Though I give the ROX window AGES, it still doesn't display any content.

3. I can click "Connect", and "View", and "Disconnect", and is does all of those, but does not display content [after "View" and "Rescan"].

4. PPM shows "CamPhoneTab-1.1.10" installed...
...And yet the button on the taskbar displays "CamPhoneTab v1.0".

That's OK. Only the background stuff changed. The GUI front end did not.

I don't know why you cannot repeat your original success.

The question here is whether the system is fragile with Windows phones or fragile in general.

[Semme]

That I've used both go-mtpfs and simple, the latter is a vast improvement on both 528 and Fatdog 700.

Go-mtpfs would always choke on trying to open my Androids "phone" directory.

Simple allows it to carry through and deliver.

Big Guy, for Sylvander, perhaps there needs to be some sort of /mnt, /tmp directory cleanup to reset the file system?

The original version is the one I'm using..

[Sylvander]

Tried this:

1. Booted from cold.
a. Once at the desktop, connected the tablet and powered it on.
b. An Xfe window appeared displaying /mnt, and including /mnt/GT-P5110.
c. Navigated to /mnt/GT-P5110/Tablet, and there were all its sub-folders.
d. Closed the Xfe window.
e. Ran CamPhoneTab, clicked MTP, clicked "Connect", sh displayed "Connected", clicked "View", ROX window opened displaying /mnt/CamPhoneTab folder EMPTY.
f. Ran Xfe, navigated to /mnt/GT-P5110/Tablet and all the folders still shown.
Xfe->/mnt/CamPhoneTab empty.
g. Looks like CamPhoneTab is no longer functioning; I'll uninstall it and reinstall it.

I don't understand this. Are you saying that Xfe suddenly got the ability to mount MTP devices on its own?

[Semme]

Xfe is your default FM?

Connected the tablet, powered on and an Xfe window appeared displaying /mnt/GT-P5110.

Sylvander, when you again mount your tablet on /mnt/GT-P5110/Tablet and see your sub-folders, run this:

Code: Select all

ps ax > active.txt

Yes, you'll find active.txt in your root folder. Gzip and attach or post it's contents..

[rcrsn51]

@Sylvander: Are you testing this on a clean install (like you should) or does your setup already have some stuff that handles MTP?

[Sylvander]

1.

Are you saying that Xfe suddenly got the ability to mount MTP devices on its own?

a. No.
At some time in the past, I set up the old arrangement for viewing the content of the tablet.
Cannot now remember how it worked, but...
It appears to have used go-mtpfs-20130628 and MTPconnect_0.9 to do the work [those are still installed].
I must have edited some config file to arrange that Xfe would auto-run to display /mnt.
Perhaps I should install CamPhoneTab-1.1.10 in one of my other Puppies that has no such arrangement installed.

b. Seems the old system is still working, and installing CamPhoneTab-1.1.10 hasn't disabled that.

c. Just now I tried uninstalling, then reinstalling CamPhoneTab-1.1.10, but that made no difference.
I could try deleting the slackosave.4fs file, and restoring a backup copy.
Might lose recent useful changes, but hey-ho that's life.
Unless you can suggest something better.

d. Strange that CamPhoneTab-1.1.10 was working fine at first [which is why I decided to save the installation changes], and now it isn't.

e. Will post again regarding more recent posts made whilst I was typing this.

[Sylvander]

...does your setup already have some stuff that handles MTP?

Yes.
See 1a in post above.

[Sylvander]

1.

Xfe is your default FM?

No, ROX is my default, but I must have made arrangements for Xfe to display the content under these circumstances..

2.

Sylvander, when you again mount your tablet on /mnt/GT-P5110/Tablet and see your sub-folders, run this:

Code: Select all

ps ax > active.txt

Yes, you'll find active.txt in your root folder. Gzip and attach or post it's contents..

a. Done.
b. I can easily use Xfe to "Add to archive..." the "active.txt" file.
Decided to choose .tar.gz, don't know if that's the best, or whether it will be accepted as an attachment.
Here goes...

[Semme]

And here you have it! I'll now offer Bill the podium..

4095 tty1 S 0:00 /bin/bash /root/Startup/MTPconnect.sh
5623 tty1 Sl 0:00 go-mtpfs GT-P5110

[Sylvander]

When I shutdown or reboot...
GT-P5110 is shown being dismounted during the shutdown process.

[Semme]

That should happen.

[rcrsn51]

@Sylvander: You have two competing systems - go-mtpfs and simple-mtpfs - trying to run at the same time. So it's impossible to know what's going on.

If you want to test CamPhoneTab, you need a clean setup with no prior save files or folders. Please identify the Puppy version.

[rcrsn51]

CamPhoneTab v1.1 is posted above.

[gcmartin]

Curious.
Is the opening post ONLY 32bit? Or does it reference a folder where users can choose 32 or 64bit versions?

I ask, because its not apparent.

[Pelo]

once again success with rcrsn ! Nokia C2 pictures transferred to my computer.
It was my first goal. there are Other apps successful but i don't remember. i was browsing the forum ( normal process) , and that makes ideas about phone used as storage or wireless point. But i will post in hardware or wireless section.

[rcrsn51]

@Pelo: ....But since you are using CamPhoneTab, please show the courtesy of providing information. What Puppy version are you using? Are you connecting it as a Camera (PTP) or by Simple-MTP?

No reply?
