Computer doesn't see PinePhone running UT when plugged into computer
#1
I am trying to put some music/podcasts on my PinePhone running Ubuntu Touch and noticed that when I plug my PinePhone into my laptop using the cord sent with the phone, the phone starts charging but I can't see the phone in the file manager and running "fdisk -l" I also don't see the phone. Anyone else having a similar issue or know a workaround? I am running Linux Mint on my computer for what it's worth.

Thank you for that list! The reason I was wanting to plug it in and transfer the music/podcasts was because the wifi can be so buggy, as noted. Though luckily I've been having some good luck with it today so I've been able to get some podcasts for my commute. I am super excited for the next couple months as this phone hopefully develops into a daily driver. Do you happen to notice any other way to get music on the phone other than external transfer?
