Ubuntu does not recognize my cell phone
My version of ubuntu is 18.04. My Samsung cell phone is running Android 5.1.1.
Two days ago I tried to connect my cell phone to Ubuntu and it did not recognize it. I read tutorials, but they were from outdated versions of Ubuntu and I got errors. Also Ubuntu did not have the 51-android.rules folder that I had to put it in.
Finally it recognized my USB memory, but only one of them.
It does not throw any error, only Ubuntu does not recognize it when I connect it, and neither does lsusb. I add that the cell phone begins to load but Ubuntu does not recognize it.
When I connect it by USB to the computer, Ubuntu recognizes my modem that I also connect with USB, but not the cell phone
Image of what it tells me when I run lsusb when my cell phone does not appear:
usb ubuntu-touch android samsung

You should: 1. Say what version of Ubuntu 2. Show what errors you get as text. 3. Show what changes you made the.rulesfiles. 4. Say exactly how you are trying to connect your phone to Ubuntu. Edit the question and provide these details.

Your phone uses MTP to enable mounting it's internal memory in a USB connect PC. This has to be enabled in the phone itself. Connect the cable then go to the dropdown menu in your phone, tap USB connection and choose the proper option.
