This is a big fat band-aid NOT a solution ... install an FTP Server app on your android ... I tend to use the one from "The Olive Tree" ... launch that app and enable the ftp server ... go to ubuntu open up Files (file manager) and hit + Locations on left column then enter the ftp address as shown on your phone similar to
ftp://192.168.1.102:2221 # <-- your IP may be different
now you are connected and can transfer files between phone <--> ubuntu
Android 7 <--> ubuntu {16.04...19.04}
I personally find ubuntu a very nice distro however its Android connectivity is extremely poor and has been since the beginning may years ago ... I tend to use pre-release editions so when things like this fail I chalk it up to me compiling/installing too many rogue repos ... hence this work around as I really hope someone pipes in with a real solution
