I have Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS 32-bit installed on one of my laptops and Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64-bit installed on the other. I think the latter version of Ubuntu has native MTP support as I did not install any package by myself and I was able to do file manipulations after having the table auto mounted when I plugged it in(Samsung GT-8010 Galaxy Note).
Now I think if it is possible to have MTP
support on Ubuntu 12.04.5 32-bit using the repositories of the latest Ubuntu or something like that. I remember that I was able to get the support somehow on the previous version of Ubuntu but problems such as file transfer halting in the middle of the operation and not being able to execute/open files inside the tablet were present, thus I thought I did something wrong. I would appreciate it if someone could aid me in this process. Or should I just install Ubuntu 14.04 instead?
