Subject: [bristol] Booting issue
Message-ID: <9131-Fri21Aug2015145639+0100-jpff@codemist.co.uk>
I am hoping one of you experts out there can help me.
I have a Toshiba Laptop x86_64 running OpenSuSE6.2. A short time ago
I noticed that when I boot it no longer goes into grub2 with a menu
but flashes up a message about a file or possibly a missing file (much
too fast to read) and then it boots into kernel 3.16.7-21-desktop
Looking at the /boot directory I see files for this kernel and a newer
3.16.7-24-desktop. Naturally nothing seems to be logged.
List of files below. -- hope it helps
It would be good to use updated kernels! I have no understanding of
grub2 but used to be able to fiddle grub. Possibly relevant is that
the filing system is btrfs which I know confuses hibernation

as root can you run update-grub?..
I would think that anything missing / corrupt would get updated at that
time ... a reboot would then confirm

You can hold in the Shift key (I use the left one, I don't know if the
right one makes a difference) during boot and it should force Grub to
display the menu. It probably won't help you diagnose or fix your
problem but it might be useful.

Subject: [bristol] Putting Music onto Moto G Via MTP
Message-ID: <55D75E17.1070707@hemmings.eclipse.co.uk>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Hi,
I am in need of putting some music on to a moto G Android phone in the
next 2 days.
I managed to get it working last night but not today, it does not mount
and "mtp-detect" shows:
mtp-detect
libmtp version: 1.1.9
Listing raw device(s)
No raw devices found.
[peter@study ~]$
Tried re-powering phone/re-plugging cable but still no joy.
It did detect it yesterday and asked if I wanted to open files but not
today.
Is MTP really flakey or should I be using something different to get my
mp3's on the phone?
PS the moto G does not have an SD card.
Regards

Some variants do - have you actually checked for an SD card socket?
However I can' tactually help with your original query, having never used
MTP in Linux

Afraid I can't help much - Android file transferring "just works" for me
on Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04.
I do have my devices in developer mode and paired with my computers for
app development if that helps..
Chrome OS now supports MTP via some command line flags - so it's
possible that support is in the linux Chromium project, but that might
be a long shot.
Personally, I use Google Play music (not the all access subscription),
so that takes care of distributing mp3s between devices for me.
> PS the moto G does not have an SD card.
My wife's does - it's next to the sim card under the back cover.
