Ubuntu – “Unable to mount Android, Error initialising camera: -60: Could not lock the device” when connecting a Samsung Galaxy S2 via MTP

androidmountmtp

Whenever I connect my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone (running Android 4.0) via USB using an MTP connection one of two messages always pops up, either:

Unable to mount Android: Error initialising camera: -60: Could not lock the device

Error initialising camera: -60: Could not lock the device

or: Unable to mount Android: Error initialising camera: -53: Could not claim the USB device

Error initialising camera: -53: Could not claim the USB device

The phone however does mount successfully and I can add and delete files etc. I would just like to understand what the error message means, googling only seems to bring up descriptions of people mounting digital cameras and this doesn't seem relevant for a mobile phone.

I found that when I was plugged into a usb 3.0 port I got the following messages:

usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd gvfs-gphoto2-vo rqt 33 rq 102 len 0 ret -71

But when I plugged into a usb 2.0 port it worked.
