S3 mini and linux

Hello everyone,
So I recently switched to Ubuntu 14.04 for my main OS, and am liking it a lot.
I just have one small problem, I'm following this guide to root my Samsung S3 mini manually because I just don't trust all these custom ROM's.

LINK to guide: http://androidforums.com/a52-all-things-root/586982-how-root-any-android-device-manually.html

Now I'm not that bothered if this method of rooting works because I can just flash back my stock ROM, but I still want to give it ago.
The problem I'm having is my phone not being detected/seen when in download mode which is part of the process for rooting.
I have tried all sorts of guides but none have been able to solve my problem.
ADB works just fine, it's only when in download mode my phone isn't seen.

Does anyone have any idea's as these guide's I've been following are for older versions of Ubuntu and I can't seem to find an up to date one.

Thanks for reading,
Any help is appreciated,
Antony :)

EDIT: Could a mod please rename thread to "S3 mini Linux help"
