I see my phone!

I run Kubuntu 8.10, and would like to cable-connect a SAMSUNG E250 phone via a USB port. When the cable is in the phone says "USB now in use". That makes me happy. Doing "lsusb" on PC gives me:

Code:

delbert@delbert:~$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04f3:0214 Elan Microelectronics Corp.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04e8:665c Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
delbert@delbert:~$

which seem to show that the system sees the phone. But doing "sudo fdisk -l" yields a negative result:

Code:

delbert@delbert:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Do I need I specific driver for the phone? Can I force-mount it somehow?

If you have a memory card in the phone, at least that should show.
Set the phone to mass storage, not modem before you connect the usb.

Thanks for the reply, makuyl.

Yes, indeed I have set the phone on MASS STORAGE --- with no success.

I will try to get hold of a memory card and see the result (good idea!), I will then post the outcome here.
