[Bug 903422] Re: Mount / Provide access to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) MTP devices

[Shriramana Sharma]

I have a Sony Xperia Neo V which I recently upgraded to ICS and I have
upgraded my Kubuntu installation to Precise. If it is true that the
problem has been "fixed by the latest release uploaded to Precise" as
per comment #24 please tell me from a vanilla installation what packages
should I install to enable Precise to read my SD card via MTP protocol.
The curious thing is that Ubuntu has always read my MP3 player (also on
MTP) without my needed to install any specific packages, so I wonder why
I have to install now only?
