I'm obviously doing something wrong.

I'm not seeing my PRS-500 in Calibre when I plug it in. I'm not exactly sure where to start so here's what I have:

Output of dmesg:

Code:

usb 2-1.2.1.1: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 24
usb 2-1.2.1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=054c, idProduct=029b
usb 2-1.2.1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 2-1.2.1.1: Product: Sony Portable Reader System
usb 2-1.2.1.1: Manufacturer: Sony
usb 2-1.2.1.1: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices

I'm not even sure if it's being seen correctly. I'm about to send it out for the epub firmware upgrade and decided to give this a try first.

Ideas?

You need to make sure your user account has the requisite permissions to access the device node
