Nexus 4 having a hard time connecting to Ubuntu 12.10

Followed this tutorial with no luck (http://forum.xda-
developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004182)

Only way I could transfer files was using gMTP, but is not as easy as
auto-mount...

Please give a thought to this issue!

Title:
  Ubuntu 12.10 does not support Google Nexus 4 phone in MTP mode

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have just bought a Google Nexus 4 phone. The device supports two
  transfer modes: MTP and PTP. MTP is the default for this phone.

  If MTP is selected (the default), the device is not detected. If I connect the device to a PC running Windows 7, a range of directories are accessible, including Music, Downloads, Pictures etc. This was the behaviour I expected to occur on Ubuntu.
  If I select PTP, the device is detected as a camera by Ubuntu. The DCIM and Pictures directories are accessible.

  Ubuntu appears therefore not to support the Nexus 4 in MTP mode. I
  will append the output of lsusb and mtp-detect.
