    Somehow, when i use pc with Wayland, android devices connected through mtp not working with terminal, while on x server they work properly, i don’t know about whether Wayland have or don’t this media transfer protocol but one thing is clear, same distro, different display servers, variant with x server mounting android device as directory and working properly in terminal as you’ve usually do with directories, when in Wayland it’s not working in terminal properly

      mtp has nothing to do with the display server. X11 has no mtp function either. its completely independent from that.

      and i can only talk about KDE, but it has a own solution integrated which then mounts android folder in its file explorer (dolphin) while unfortunately blocking mtp over CLI at the same time. you get an “likely in use by GVFS or KDE MTP device handling already” error then.

      It is possible of course that this is a thing that happens only under KDE wayland, but not because it is wayland itself but because the wayland version of KDE is maybe newer or was configured differntly by the devs.

      that said, if it does not work as expected, report it as bug. usually things are fixed very quickly.

      OK, I use GNOME on Wayland on EndeavourOS and have no problems regularly running a script in my phone’s internal storage root directory. Go file a bug report to your distro, or at least provide some details.
