(Smartphone content access) The object does not exist at « /org/gtk/vfs/mount/1

[melodie11]

I am using PCManFM in an Openbox environment, version 1.3.2 with libfm-gtk4 1.3.2-1 amd64 in Ubuntu 22.04. Each time I try to access the content of my Android branded smartphone by pluging it in the computer throught USB, I get the message The object does not exist at « /org/gtk/vfs/mount/1  (I get it in French: L’objet n’existe pas à l’emplacement « /org/gtk/vfs/mount/1).

This happens with the choice for File transfer, in the smartopphone. I could however access to pictures with PTP. Obviously, I need also to access to other files. (gvfs and gvfs-backends are installed, so I would have expected it to just work).

I had been living with this issue for quite some time, when I noticed in an Xfce environment that I didn't meet with this issue. From that moment I installed Thunar in my Openbox setup on the computer where I had hit this issue, and with Thunar, it just works, even in my Openbox environment. Therefore I thought I should report it.
