I can connect my Galaxy Nexus to my Kubuntu machine using the [PTP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_Transfer_Protocol) protocol, but it's really slow. I've read [this interview about why Galaxy Nexus doesn't support USB Mass storage](http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/11/18/impromptu-qa-session-with-android-engineer-dan-morrill-brings-to-light-reasons-behind-galaxy-nexus-lack-of-usb-mass-storage/), and I've gone to <http://www.android.com/filetransfer/> as instructed but there's no way I can see which will allow me to connect to the device using a linux machine and [MTP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol).

Does anyone know how to get MTP, or any other protocol, working?
