*sigh* It's what I've come to expect from Ubuntu: remember, Shuttleworth
says it's better to have users than a stable product!

As a workaround, you can set the Galaxy Nexus to use PTP. (Drag down on
the notifications bar, and click the "Connected as media device/Touch
for other USB options" notification.) On previous versions of Ubuntu, it
gave access to many more directories than it does now, but at least if
you install a file manager, you should be able to copy files to the
directories you can see. Keep in mind that it's slow, buggy as heck, and
the protocol is really crap. Basically only use it to upload or download
files: do NOT do file management!

Don't expect this to be fixed for 12.04 though. I seriously doubt that
there are any actual developers on Canonical's staff: most are marketing
drones.

Also, Google really should have reached out to major distros that MTP is
the future much, MUCH earlier. (They had planned this from early 2011 at
least.) Maybe then a decent distro could have picked up the support and
Canonical would have got the code that way.
