No NOOK HD in Mint Linux

[lifeannotated]

My system sees my Nook HD, but Calibre does not.
Here's my debug device output as suggested (minus serial#):

Also, when starting Calibre from terminal I get:

michael@michael-laptop ~ $ calibre

I'm using Mint Linux 16 Cinnamon 64-bit
Cinnamon Version 2.0.14
Linux Kernel 3.11.0-12-generic
Any help would be super appriciated.

libmtp on your system is failing with LIBMTP_ERROR_NO_DEVICE_ATTACHED

probably you have some permissions problem that prevents libmtp from getting the lsit of devices. Unfortunately, fixing that is highly distro specific and I am not familiar with Mint.
