Hi,

I have installed a new Fedora 43 Atomic Cosmic and I cannot access the files on my Android Pixel 7 phone when I attached it with usb-c. The phone appears in Cosmic files and I can view files but I cannot copy/edit or open. I had to install the following package to be able to view the phone on cosmic-files:

sudo rpm-ostree install gvfs-mtp

Same hardware (laptop,phone,cable,port) works when I run a Fedora 43 Workspace live. I tried to run cosmic-files from terminal and I get the following warnings when trying to interact with a file ( I get only the option to open but the app just crashes)

[2025-11-14T09:50:54Z WARN cosmic_files::tab] no path for item Item {

Would be good to add that as a dependency for the file manager in COSMIC.

With latest update just installing as layered package the gvfs-mtp solves all other problems and the phone gets properly mounted. @siosm should I open a ticket somewhere?
