On my desktop (Mate) and Linux (Mint) I can't disable MTP mount. I can on Cinnamon.

So before connecting USB I go to "System Monitor" -> Processes -> gvfs-mtp-volume-monitor and Right Mouse Click "Stop Process" (do not Kill as it automatically respawns). Later after Eject in Calibre and USB removal you can "Continue" so you can get File Manager access.

Some MTP devices will work in Calibre just with Right Click Unmount on the desktop Icon (my Android 4 phone), all except an Android 4 Samsung tablet work with above solution (Mars eInk, Lenovo, Alcatel, Binatone ad other Android 4 to 11).

My solution will work for any Linux or BSD using gvfs to mount the USB MTP as a "drive".
