Interestingly enough, the Kobo *thinks* that it's connected to a computer, but the computer doesn't see it. As I said, I've tried 3 different computers, and 4 or 5 different cables, and got the same result with all of them.
What happens when you connect your computer to the Aura and choose "Register via Kobo Desktop." That's what I had to do to get my Linux computer to see the Kobo Mini (which may be different than the Aura). Once I could see the Mini in Linux, I could copy the update file over, reboot, and the Mini updated. And then I could register it.

The Kobo Desktop kept timing out, probably because the old firmware's security certificate is too old.
