Mount Nexus5 to Ubuntu 12.04

Instruction how to connect Nexus phone to Ubuntu 12.04:

1) Activate developer options on Nexus 5, instructions, that mode have to be switched ON always to be mounted.

2) just follow http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/268-ubuntu-automount-any-mtp-device , at the end of article there is a script that do all that steps automatically (that require only 2 chapter to be done).

ATTENTION: unlock phone before connection to PC, if phone is locked auto connection/mount is not happen!!!!

it works for any device - Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, .... that use MTP protocol.

Only one minor nuance is noticed: Nautilus does not copy files/folders if you use Tabs in Nautilus, workaround just use separate nautilus windows.
