I never got MTP to work with a Galaxy S3 on Mageia 3. I've tried mtpfs and kio-mtp with no success. I may be doing something wrong, but since these are my kids' phones, it was not really urgent. But now I'm about to move from A Galaxy S to Galaxy S4 so the problem of connecting to backup the phone is more urgent.
I've included dmesg and mtpfs command info below. Has anyone solved this? I'd prefer a solution for Mageia but I assume that whatever was done on another distro could also be adapted.
