Hi.

Since doing a Debian Linux re-install on connecting my Kindle Paperwhite via USB cable it won't remain in USB drive mode. It occasionally enters USB drive mode then returns to the "YOUR LIBRARY" screen and at no point does the device appear as a drive on the OS or recognised in Calibre.

Connecting the device to a Windows machine via USB where it remains in USB drive mode and is recognised as a drive which eliminates the possibility that the issue is the cable.

I have installed the go-mtpfs Debian package.

Anybody have any ideas on how to resolve this?
