Upgrade Gvfs in Ubuntu 12.10 and 12.04 to get Android 4.0 support for devices which don't support USB Mass Storage interface1. To add the Gvfs (and libmtp) PPA created by the Gvfs MTP backend developer in Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10, use the following commands:
- Code: Select all
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:langdalepl/gvfs-mtp
sudo apt-get update
2. Then, launch Software Updater/Update Manager/Synaptic and install the available updates.
or
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get upgrade
3. Once everything has been updated successfully, restart your computer, unlock your Android device, connect it via USB and it should show up in your file manager (tested with Nautilus and Thunar 1.6).
