Hi,
I've been fooling around withe the USB stuff and two good things, one bad thing. Good things are, after all this messing around I finally figured out how to get my USB flash drive and my digital camera to work under linux
I've been wanting to get around to that for so long... bad new is... I still havn't been able to get my MP3 player to work. It's as if it doesn't recognize what it is. If I use usbview I can see it, and the name of it is printed in the box, and it has a little bit of stuff about it, but it's name is in red instead of black like the others... does that mean its not working correctly? I cant seem to get it to mount with anything /dev/sdX or /dev/sdXY. It doesn't seem to be wanting to treat it as a normal flash drive like it does the camera and usb key (both of which fall under /dev/sda1 when plugged in, then mount fine and are read/writeable). When I plug the other devices in, they pop up in dmesg saying for example:
--- dmesg ---
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8

--- end dmesg ---
Where as when I plug the MP3 player in, I only get:
--- dmesg ---
usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 7
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9
--- end dmesg ---
Is there something I'm missing here? If anybody has any ideas, they'd be much appriciated.
