Automount Nexus 7 in Nautilus

[Creak]

Hi!

I've received a Nexus 7 recently and I'd like it to be mounted directly in Nautilus as a simple USB key.
I found this page, explaining how to do it on Ubuntu 12.04: http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/24...unt-nexus7-mtp

Based on this website, here is what I've done:

• Created the directory /media/Nexus7
• Created the file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules (same owner and chmod as the other rules files in the directory)
• Filled the file with this (renamed go-mtpfs to mtpfs binary file):
  

  # Google Nexus 7 16 Gb Bootloader & recovery mode
  SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e40", MODE="0666" # Bootloader
  SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="d001", MODE="0666" # Recovery
  
  # Google Nexus 7 16 Gb PTP mode (camera)
  SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e43", MODE="0666" # PTP media
  SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e44", MODE="0666" # PTP media with USB debug on
  
  # Google Nexus 7 16 Gb MTP mode (multimedia device)
  SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e41", MODE="0666" # MTP media
  SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e42", MODE="0666" # MTP media with USB debug on
  
  # Google Nexus 7 MTP mode : automatic mount when plugged (all android versions)
  ENV{ID_MODEL}=="Nexus", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="4e41", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/bin/sudo -u yourlogin /usr/bin/mtpfs /media/Nexus7"
  ENV{ID_MODEL}=="Nexus", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="4e42", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/bin/sudo -u yourlogin /usr/bin/mtpfs /media/Nexus7"
  ENV{ID_MODEL}=="Nexus_7", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="4e41", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/bin/sudo -u yourlogin /usr/bin/mtpfs /media/Nexus7"
  ENV{ID_MODEL}=="Nexus_7", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="4e42", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/bin/sudo -u yourlogin /usr/bin/mtpfs /media/Nexus7"
  
  # Google Nexus 7 MTP mode : automatic unmount when unplugged (all android versions)
  ENV{ID_MODEL}=="Nexus", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="4e41", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/bin/umount /media/Nexus7"
  ENV{ID_MODEL}=="Nexus", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="4e42", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/bin/umount /media/Nexus7"
  ENV{ID_MODEL}=="Nexus_7", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="4e41", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/bin/umount /media/Nexus7"
  ENV{ID_MODEL}=="Nexus_7", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="4e42", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/bin/umount /media/Nexus7"

• Replaced "yourlogin" with my actual login.

I must be missing something... It seems like the udev rule doesn't work when I plug the Nexus 7.
When I do this to fake the Nexus 7 connection:

$ udevadm test --action=add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-8

I can see that the rule tries to be applied, but nothing happens eventually...

Do you have the same problem? Or do you know what's wrong in udev?

Thanks

What exactly happens when you plug it in?

tail -f /var/log/messages

And /media might not be the best location since it's on a ramdisk. Try /mnt/Nexus7 instead

Here is what the tail says:

Thanks for the tips, I changed the folder to /mnt/Nexus7. I had few hopes, but the result is still the same.
