Aura Calibre device discovering

[n0t]

Hi all,

I just bought my first ebook reader today. I'm very happy !!!

However, I meet some difficulties to upload my fresh library to my device. Someone could provide me some help, please?

I run Archlinux with the last kernel update: 3.15.7

Here is a debug from Calibre Debug device detection

There are two lines stating that the memory is read only. Something has happened that the device has been mounted read only. It might be as the error suggests and that the file system needs to be checked. I would take the lazy way out of connecting it to a Windows machine and letting it do a check and fix of the file system. You can do this from Linux, but I have never bothered to learn the commands.

The other possibilities include not having write permissions. Or simply that you mounted it read only.

Hmm, seems that Arch Linux has been updated to use the beta -- and no longer stuck (weirdly) on 1.40 .
