mounting Jolla from Linux computers

File handling is severely hampered since the 2.0.0.10 update. Linux seems to be unable to view or store files on the Jolla, just transferring to the computer's local hard disk is possible. Tested with Linux Mint 17.3 and Fedora 23. The phone is mounted using MTP nowadays, after this update. It used to me mounted via gphoto2: back in those times file handling posed no problem, images in the Jolla internal memory could be viewed and saved, also to and from the SD card.

Windows XP fails as well. Windows 7 and 10 seem to have no problem with correctly mounting the phone's file system.

To me it looks like something went wrong in the way the phone is mounted (the way it is recognized by Linux computers).

What can I do to solve this issue? How can I change the protocol used for mounting the device, or the way the phone is giving info to the OS to be recognized and mounted?

Thanks for all info

best regards and merry Christmas!
