linux Ubuntu 9.10 Does not detecting reader
I just installed Ubuntu on my computer and downloaded calibre - no problem, but when I attempt to upload a book to my reader Sony PRS 700 - it does not detect the device.
I sure like Ubuntu, I sure like calibre, I just wish they could get along. Help! please |

When you plug in the device, is it showing up as a USB device in Nautilus?

I am running 6.13 which is the version that downloads directly from the software library in Ubuntu 9.10

calibre-debug -d After awhile, it'll produce some text. Copy and paste that text into a message here. |

Your system isn't detecting the device at all.

Sounds like instead of reading a good book on the Sony tonight, it's going to be Virtualbox docs on the Mac...
Tomorrow is going to be a good day |

I'd suggest trying a different USB cable/port

- Shutdown Ubuntu. - Plug in your Sony reader, then load VirtualBox (don't start the Ubuntu install just yet. - Select your Ubuntu install and on the right hand side of VirtualBox there is the Details section. - Select USB. - Select "Add Filter From Device". Should give a list of USB connected devices on your Mac, and then select the Sony reader. - Start the Ubuntu virtual machine and see if it shows up in Nautilus. Note** before loading Ubuntu you may wish to shutdown the Sony software that loads on the Mac when the unit is plugged in. Best of luck. |

Solicitous & kovidgoyal
Thanks for the advice but VirtualBox for some reason is not recognizing any of the USB ports. When I select USB in VirtualBox the device does not show up in the list, actually, no devices show in the list. Also, I have tried different ports, same results. Everything works fine in the host environment, Mac OS X - so I'll continue to use calibre in OS X until I work out the problem with VirtualBox Thanks for the help. |
