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.

Connect Nexus4 to Ubuntu 12.04 by USB

UPDATE: 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.

Follow: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html
something similar is here too.

after installation it worked for me for few time (Ubuntu 12.04 64bit), but after that failed with error:
"nexus rdev.open failed: open: open returned nil"

to fix this follow all steps in  http://askubuntu.com/questions/87667/getting-mtp-to-work-with-a-galaxy-nexus/88630#88630 and do restart.

And now it works and could be used without terminal mount!!!!!

PS:
I also tried gMTP but it does not work to copy folders - works only for files :( .
AirDroid, looks interesting, but it only for wifi connection.
