What I'm doing is trying to run a software called gMTP, which is apparently what I need to do to transfer files back and forth to my Android Galaxy 10.1 Tab device.

I've asked about it on the Android SE site, but it seems the problem might be on the Ubuntu side. I followed these instructions to get Ubuntu to support MTP.

However, when I run the software, I get "LIBMTP PANIC" and other errors.

$ gmtp

Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung GT-P7510/Galaxy Tab 10.1.

PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface

LIBMTP libusb: Attempt to reset device

LIBMTP PANIC: failed to open session on second attempt

Detect: Unable to open raw device?

LIBMTP PANIC: Trying to dump the error stack of a NULL device!

LIBMTP PANIC: Trying to clear the error stack of a NULL device!

It seems that the problem is on the Ubuntu side, so is there something I can do to fix it?
