*sigh* It's what I've come to expect from Ubuntu: remember, Shuttleworth says it's better to have users than a stable product!
As a workaround, you can set the Galaxy Nexus to use PTP. (Drag down on the notifications bar, and click the "Connected as media device/Touch for other USB options" notification.) On previous versions of Ubuntu, it gave access to many more directories than it does now, but at least if you install a file manager, you should be able to copy files to the directories you can see. Keep in mind that it's slow, buggy as heck, and the protocol is really crap. Basically only use it to upload or download files: do NOT do file management! Don't expect this to be fixed for 12.04 though. I seriously doubt that there are any actual developers on Canonical's staff: most are marketing drones. Also, Google really should have reached out to major distros that MTP is the future much, MUCH earlier. (They had planned this from early 2011 at least.) Maybe then a decent distro could have picked up the support and Canonical would have got the code that way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972311 Title: Accessing a MTP device like the Galaxy Nexus fails Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I connect my Galaxy Nexus to my system (up to date precise) and try to access the data on my phone, I get the following error...
