Description Rodd Clarkson 2011-11-26 04:27:05 UTC
Description of problem:

Android Honeycomb used mtp to transfer files on the system, and while Fedora supports this, the Acer Iconia A501 device I have isn't recognized by fedora.

If if type in lsusb when the device is connected I get:

...
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 0502:3344 Acer, Inc. 
...

and there are instructions for getting the device going on ubuntu here:

http://www.acertabletforum.com/forum/acer-iconia-tab-general-discussions/129-connecting-via-usb-linux-ubuntu.html

and a lead in page with possibly more helpful information here:

However, there seems to be a lot of manual handling for something that should just work, and the proposed solution looks like a work around to the problem.

I'm hoping that someone who understands Fedora more might be able to make appropriate changes to the udev rules (and other bits) so I plug the device in and it just works.

That should have been f16.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 20:34:47 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 23:59:55 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
