[Solved] MTP mount issues in KDE/Dolphin

How do I mount mtp partion in linux? I am using kde/dolphin.

I installed libmtp and kio-mtp and whenever I tried mtp-detect I get this error

[shashwat@arch ~]$ mtp-detect 
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6

Listing raw device(s)
   No raw devices found.

Please suggest some way around.

Thanks

^^ Yes sire, I have read the wiki thoroughly and the wiki doesn't state anything that relates to the error I posted above.

I have already used mtp-detect as mentioned in the OP and yes my device is perfectly listed in the mpt rules as well as website.

 [shashwat@arch ~]$ cat /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules  | grep Sola
# SONY MT27i Xperia Sola MTP
# SONY MT27i Xperia Sola MTP+CDROM
# SONY MT27i Xperia Sola MTP+ADB
# SONY MT27i Xperia Sola MTP+UMS
# SONY MT27i Xperia Sola MTP+UMS+ADB
[shashwat@arch ~]$ 

I have installed the requisite mtp library and have created a new 51-android.rules file under /etc/udev/rules.d - but to no avail./

[shashwat@arch ~]$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules 
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="054c",ATTR{idProduct}==5146, MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

[shashwat@arch ~]$ 

I still get the above error as stated earlier.

I think Jason is trying to tell you to run it as root.
