I recently bought a mp3/video SONY NWZ walkman (one of B172F or B173F). I plugged in the USB into the computer but it was not detected. It does not appear on the desktop and cannot be seen in a shell either.
It looks like a general issue under Linux at the moment. From ubuntu forum, one suggestion is to seqrch for the label in the /dev directory:
ls /dev/disk/by-label -lah |
to figure out the device name. However, the SONY device was not found; only hard disk related:
DellUtility _Fedora-17-x86_6 OS RECOVERY |
However, I could find it in the by-id
ls /dev/disk/by-id/ |
Here is the name as it appear on my computer (amongst others):
usb-SONY_WALKMAN_1042D501543287-0:0 |
From there, you can mount the USB device as follows (note the slash before :0):
sudo mkdir /media/Walkman sudo mount /dev/disk/by-id/usb-SONY_WALKMAN_1042D501543287-0\:0 /media/Walkman |
