Unless there's something new to support since then or there's something particular to Mint that's broken, it should just work if you install one of the packages named similarly to these: - gphoto2 - gvfs-gphoto2 - gvfs-mtp You should be able to just start gphoto2. I don't see a .desktop file in my distro, so it may not have an entry in whatever menu you're using either. If you installed one of the gvfs packages, your file browser should just pick things up automatically unless your distro does something different. Instead of figuring out how to kill your file browser and any gvfs user-daemons over email, I'd just log out and back in. That said, I haven't used these in a few years, so the answer above may not be perfect.

The kernel itself doesn't since it doesn't convert PTP or MTP USB endpoints as block devices or filesystems, but if you run a desktop environment as I suspect you do, the already installed gvfs-mtp or gvfs-gphoto2 do make a FUSE filesystem.
