Bug Description

In Ubuntu 18.04 udev mounts MTP devices (mine is Google Pixel C tablet) in read-only mode by default, so that files cannot be copied over to the device.

One has to manually create a udev rule to mount the device in read-write mode. This is rather user-unfriendly.

Make udev mount MTP devices in read-write mode by default.
