    Re: Device ID

    Hi,
    Try pasting these commands into Konsole/terminal after the device is plugged in (and turned on if necessary). One of these should give you the info you are looking for.

    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
    List all of your disks and shows the device names and partition info.

    Code:
    sudo blkid
    Shows you the UUIDs and device names of all the disks.

    Code:
    sudo lshw
    Lists all hardware and their info.

    Hope this helps.

    actually what I think you're looking for is the 'lsusb' command.

    You can add the '-v' switch to it to get more info.
    on freenode as Zeike or brandonj, depending on my mood.
