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

[mlaverdiere]

@jamadagni:  I don't know precisely what package is needed, but in my
case, I have libmtp9, libmtp-common and libmtp-runtime installed (by
default) on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine and I'm able to mount my Galaxy
Nexus 4.1 ICS phone.  However, when I plug the phone, nothing happens,
i.e. no automount; I have to switch phone to ptp mode  (or if it is
already to ptp switch to mtp), to have the phone mount with one or this
mode.   Hope this helps.
