    Sony Walkman not recognised.

    I have a problem with the system detecting my Sony Walkman NWZ-S639F. When I plug the device, the player's screen says 'Connecting', however nothing shows up on the laptop screen. When I was running Linux Mint 10, the player connected with no problem, and since Mint 10 is basically Ubuntu 10.10 with extra software, I think that I miss certain software packages. Any other USB device I have works just fine. Please help.

    To answer my own question, I was missing 'pmount' package.

    The problem I had was with root priveleges. pmount allows to browse the player's content without being an Admin user.
