[Q] Can't get my Player to connect to Ubuntu - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Every time I flash a cm9 rom it never wants to connect to ubuntu. I run lsusb and it shows it's there but it can never connect. Anyone know how to fix this? Supermaster said I might need to set up some usb rules but I have no clue and some tutorials are meant for experienced devs and not for me. Any help would be appreciated

OK... I got this while trying to mount

Probably a stupid post but...have you tried restarting/trying a different usb port? If not try Airdroid from google play, if your player and pc are on the same network you can transfer files and do almost anything with it...not trying to advertise just help

I tried AirDroid but for what I use it it was slow. I'd prefer using cable since I transfer videos and music to my player.

---

Have you tried a different cable? Ive had problems with almost any non-samsung cable charging or connecting my player

Yeah, it's the original cable never had any problems with it and when I go back to a GB ROM, it works like nothing was wrong with it

Whos cm9 rom are you using?

Supermaster's but it happens to all roms I use that aren't Gingerbread

---

Go into developper option and unselect usb debugging then go into storage and open the menu. Select usb connection and then enable mass storage. When you will plug it into the computer it will ask to start usb storage. This is working for me on my 4.0 with nebula CM9.

---

Thanks for the idea but sadly it didn't work. going to start from stock and work my way to Supermaster's ROM see if it was something that installed wrong

---

So I reinstalled the ROM and tried it on other pc's and it connects except on my Ubuntu :\

THanks everyone for the help but i guess I'll go back to my old rom.
