I ejected successfully sdc1 and sdd1, but could not eject sde1, neither using palimpsest nor from the command line, so I turned the device off. Now only the red light is turned on, which according the manual, means that it's being charged. Let's see.
If you have any other ideas, please post it.
By the way, does this topic help in anything: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4702 … with-linux
Thanks!
]]># eject /dev/sdh
I have a device that can only be charged via USB, its battery is 3.7 V, 1000 mAh, 3.70 Wh.
It charges well in Windows, however in Linux I sometimes let it plugged in the whole night but in the end the battery is still empty. Linux does recognize the device and it can be mounted if necessary, it just does not charge it.
What could be the problem? Is there a way to check if charge is being transfered or not? Is it some configuration related to voltage or current?
Thanks!
