[QUOTE="wolsty, post: 818414, member: 175166"] On the strength of the Galaxy S2 phone (ICS) that my family bought me for my birthday, which I love and which connects seamlessly (well almost) with my Kubuntu 12.10 OS laptop, I've just treated my wife to a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, which also has an Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4) OS. Her computer currently has Ubuntu 12.04 and I can just about upload and download files from the tablet using a program called gMTP, but the tab won't connect to my laptop and gMTP crashes my system. There seem to be two distinct problems: 1. The tablet does not have the menu option of the phone that allows the computer to see the external USB device as a mass storage drive; 2. Neither Kubuntu 12.10 nor Ubuntu 12.04 supports the MTP protocol that the tablet OS uses exclusively. I've searched the Linux forums, but found no solution/workaround that works on either computer except for the flaky gMTP. Can anyone help? [/QUOTE]
