Thanks. I made a bunch of guesses how to proceed. I'm sure I erred, but here's what I did. What should I correct by way of use model? $ uname -a Linux machine 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 16 20:59:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ sudo yum install libmtp ==> Package libmtp-1.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version $ sudo yum remove libmtp ==> Removing: ==> libmtp x86_64 1.0.1-2.el6 @anaconda-CentOS-201112091719.x86_64/6.2 695 k ==> Removing for dependencies: ==> rhythmbox x86_64 0.12.8-1.el6 @anaconda-CentOS-201112091719.x86_64/6.2 12 M ==> vlc x86_64 1.1.13-1.el6.rf @rpmforge 60 M ==> Erasing : rhythmbox-0.12.8-1.el6.x86_64 1/3 ==> Erasing : vlc-1.1.13-1.el6.rf.x86_64 2/3 ==> Erasing : libmtp-1.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 3/3 $ mkdir /tmp/test; cd /tmp/test $ wget http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/libmtp-1.1.6-0.el6.x86_64.rpm ==> Saving to: “libmtp-1.1.6-0.el6.x86_64.rpm” I'm not sure what the next step is (either rpm -ivh or rpm -Uvh) $ sudo rpm -ivh libmtp-1.1.6-0.el6.x86_64.rpm ==> Preparing... ########################################### [100%] ==> 1:libmtp ############################################## [100%] I'm not sure how to check if it worked or not, so I'll just re-run this and compare output: $ sudo yum install libmtp ==> Package matching libmtp-1.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 already installed Hmmm... I had expected a later version, and, at the same time, I would have expected the same wording. Neither occurred. It says it's the same version; but it uses different wording to do that. But I don't see any errors either, so I'll move to the next step. Hmm... What is the next step? I guess the next step is to plug in the Samsung Galaxy S3 via USB cable and see what happens. Drat.
