How can I mount my google nexus4 on linuxmint(nadia) computer via usb? Also is it any different than ubuntu?

UPDATE: 

Using gmtp, I still get the error from the terminal and gmtp crashes when i click on "connect".

The gmtp says the following in the shell:

Device 0 (VID=18d1 and PID=4ee1) is UNKNOWN.
Please report this VID/PID and the device model to the libmtp development team
PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface
LIBMTP libusb: Attempt to reset device
Android device detected, assigning default bug flags
Error 1: Get Storage information failed.
Error 2: PTP Layer error 02fe: get_handles_recursively(): could not get object handles.
Error 2: Error 02fe: PTP: Protocol error, data expected


I'm sure that libtmp teams added nexus4 to their libraries because my nexus4 was being seen by ubuntu-11.04 easily. But my problem is still alive in linuxmint
This question gets asked a lot about Linux in general.  MTP from the default repos will work in Mint, no problem.  I've written a tutorial on how to get MTP devices recognized under Ubuntu, but it's the same for Mint:

Install MTP:


sudo apt-get install mtpfs


Create a directory to mount your device:


sudo mkdir /media/MTPdevice (call the directory whatever you like)
sudo chmod 775 /media/MTPdevice
sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /media/MTPdevice


Plug in you phone and use MTP tools to determine the VID and PID (or, if those don't appear in the output, idVendor and idProduct):


mtp-detect


Add a rule to udev to handle your phone:


gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules


Text to add:  (substitue VID and PID for "" and "")

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="&lt;vendorId&gt;", ATTR{idProduct}=="&lt;productId&gt;", MODE="0666"


Restart udev:


sudo service udev restart


You may also need to reboot, depending.

This works on my Linux Mint 15 + MATE box.

NOTE:  If you have your device locked (eg, which a swipe code or PIN), you’ll need to unlock it before your SD card(s) can be recognized by MTP and have it mount them for you to access locally.
