Has someone been able to connect Google Nexus 7 to Linux. I'm using Linux Ubuntu 12.04?

I've already installed mtp-tools and mtpfs but still cannot get it right. Can someone help?

  • Using LinuxMint (Nadia). I followed the instructions above. The 'NexusDrive' appears on the desktop. I can't open it and view contents. Error message, 'Could not display "/home/paul/NexusDrive". The file is of an unknown type' If I try to unmount the Nexus 7, 'Unable to unmount NexusDrive. unmount: /home/paul/NexusDrive is not in the fstab (and you are not root)
