Linux Mint 18 "Sarah" isn't recognizing my phone now. It worked in Linux Mint 17.3, but due to an failed upgrade I had to install Linux Mint 18 "Sarah" fresh and keeping my /home partition intact from the Linux Mint 17.3 installation.

Here's the output....

That's a failure to open the device -- either your device node permissions are screwed up or you have some other software opening the device and blocking calibre.

Thanks for the swift reply. Yes I have recognized that Linux Mint 18 isn't as nice with this Android phone as 17.3 was. "sudo apt install mtp-tools" didn't fix the issue I have with mounting the external sd card before. I have to press "Allow" several times with the 18 version, and I have to press it fast to....
