No idea what that means but my kindle still doesn't connect although the battery bar indicates it's charging. I started up calibre and the kindle isn't recognized either.
I agree that the workaround is to send files to the kindle wirelessly or via direct download from the paperwhite experimental browser.

The best approach in linux is to use the dmesg command, which may or may not require sudo in front. I just did the following with my K4NT and an older laptop running an older ubuntu:
Code:
#comment initial baseline dmesg output
dmesg > dmesg_init.txt
#comment connect kindle with USB then get next dmesg
dmesg > dmesg_conn.txt
#comment disconnect kindle from USB then get next dmesg
dmesg > dmesg_disc.txt
#comment get new part after connect
diff dmesg_init.txt dmesg_conn.txt
#comment get new part after disconnect
diff dmesg_conn.txt dmesg_disc.txt
Ignore diff output lines starting with "<"
New part after connect:
So Kindle detected as USB Mass Storage device as sdb with
single partition sdb1
New part after disconnect.
