Has anyone had an issue accessing it?

Could not display "/media/GalaxyNexus".

Error: Error when getting information for file '/media/GalaxyNexus': Transport endpoint is not connected
Please select another viewer and try again.

I know the udev configuration looks fine and adb works fine and it tries to mount the device for MTP but I get the above error. I'm not using Ubuntu but my go-mtps install has been updated on git and I have the latest version of fuse and followed the instructions.

Reboot. Whenever you get the dreaded transport endpoint error, reboot.

Which? The phone or PC? Both have been rebooted and I noticed the error earlier today since a reboot. I didn't find anything googling outside of xda but I did try to resolve it on my own before posting.

I still prefer adb command for it. But if u don't like typing commands all the time, there's a GUI for it, Qtadb. So why do we even need a working MTP? :)

Some commands didn't work so I had to use old method: sudo nautilus to put files to the right locations but for some reason it gives me error when I try to open Galaxy Nexus... :/

Is that guide even compatible with Ubuntu 10.04.4?

No worries. If you want to plug it in & have it "just work", this might be better. Especially if you're not opposed to adding even more PPAs to your system...

http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/upgrade-to-gvfs-with-mtp-support-in.html

As usual, please be warned that this is actually marked as unstable. I have had some crashes when using it myself. But it's awesome when it works (which is most of the time)...

Keeps the Galaxy Nexus forum from being filled with a bunch of Ubuntu threads!

EDIT:

Reopen! I didn't realize this thread was related to Ubuntu Desktop. Sorry! :(

So before I did like in that page which link is in the OP..

But it didn't work!

I did it my way..

I opened terminal and I wrote:
sudo nautilus

It gave few errors of missing sharing file(s) samba..
I navigated to /etc/udev/rules.d/ folder and then I closed terminal!
I made new file to the rules.d folder:
51-android.rules
I opened it and I added this one and I replaced <username> as my PC's name Carlos so it is ......="<Carlos>"

Code: 
# adb protocol on passion (Nexus One)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e12", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"
# fastboot protocol on passion (Nexus One)

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4ee0", MODE="0600", OWNER="<username>"


I don't know is there posted similar post but this is the way how I did..

Now I can use MTP on my Ubuntu with no issues..:p

I was looking at your site and in the "setup udev rules" section you dont have the rules for the 32GB model or is it the same as the 16GB?

I was wondering the same thing as well because I followed the OP's direction with my galaxy nexus 32gb model and receive the message "/bin/sh: 1: DeviceFs(Galaxy Nexu): not found"

    For Unity & KDE users, this might be a worthwhile attempt, works for me on KDE. Even quicklists in the icon-only task manager...

    First of all thanks a lot for solving this long pending issue.

    Everything worked for me mounting, data transfer through MTP, but while unmounting I am getting an error saying that "umount: /media/Nexus mount disagrees with the fstab"

    I am using Ubuntu 12.04, Nexus 4.1.2

    when the nexus is connected issue the mount command in a terminal, you should see something like..
    Code: 
    DeviceFs(Galaxy Nexu on /media/GalaxyNexus type fuse.DeviceFs(Galaxy Nexu (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,user=username)

    its possable your device name is different, so check the fstab line,
    Code: 
    DeviceFs(Galaxy\040Nexu)    /media/GalaxyNexus    fuse.DeviceFs(Galaxy\040Nexu)    allow_other,rw,user,noauto    0    0

    the DeviceFS (both) must match above except the space in the mount listing has to be replaced with \040 as space is the field separator in fstab..
