OK, maybe you are missing the device driver. It looks like your USB uses a CP210x controller (all Davis loggers seem to use this chip), so you want the cp210x driver. Try
lsmod and see if it has been loaded. If not, you can see if it is available on your system: grep cp210x /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.dep If it is available, load it with sudo modprobe cp210x If it is not available, you will have to do some Googling to see if it's available for your machine. Chances are it's out there somewhere. Then you'll have to build and install. I'm not an expert on this, but if you get stuck, I will try to help you out. Others in the user's group have much more experience at this... -tk On Sat, Aug 27, 2016 at 5:12 PM, Bill Unger <bill.un...@gmail.com> wrote: > I only get 2 lines: > > [ 1917.999902] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 2 > > [ 1938.976526] usb 2-1: new full-speed USB device number 4 using uhci_hcd > > > Oddly, it never seems to mount anything. > > > running the lsusb command returns: > > > Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub > > Bus 002 Device 003: ID 05ac:8241 Apple, Inc.
