First of the libmtp that is installed apparently doesn't work with out S3 so we are going to compile a version from source that is.
First off install git ( if it isnt installed)
Open your terminal
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install git
then we will grab the sources for lbmtp
- Code: Select all
git clone git://libmtp.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libmtp/libmtp
next we will configure it and install it
- Code: Select all
cd libmtp
./autogen.sh (answering yes to any questions)
./configure --prefix=/usr/
make
sudo make install
ok now the new libmtp is installed we can install jmtpfs
i won't reinvent the wheel here so install these dependicies
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev libmagic-dev

Extract the file to your home directory
open your terminal again and follow these commands
- Code: Select all
./configure
make
sudo make install
now jmtpfs is installed
now for the moment of truth
create a directory in your home folder called "mtp"
open up your terminal
to mount the phone type
- Code: Select all
jmtpfs ~/mtp
to unmount when your done
- Code: Select all
fusermount -u ~/mtp
not ideal but it gets the job done, i really suggest buying a microsd and a card reader it is a lot easier
i hope this helps
