I followed the recommendations in the following Q&A to get my phone to work with Ubuntu:

How to connect Nokia Lumia 520 to Ubuntu 12.04

Unfortunately the installation failed for me. When updating I get the following error:

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/langdalepl/gvfs-mtp/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/langdalepl/gvfs-mtp/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

How can I get this PPA to work? Is there any other method to access the files and folders on my phone?

"13.10 (Saucy) and newer versions of Ubuntu contain all of these changes, so you don't need to use this ppa any more. More info: https://launchpad.net/~langdalepl/+archive/ubuntu/gvfs-mtp"

Run these commands in an open terminal to fix the problem.

sudo rm langdalepl-gvfs-mtp-trusty.list
sudo apt-get update

Plug the phone in and reboot. This method also works to mount USB connected devices as well as SD cards.
