Cannot access local storage on HTC Desire HD with Linux If I set my new HTC Desire HD to connect to PC in disk drive mode, a Windows computer can see the internal storage as a Removable Disk. If I attempt the same with my Linux system, "HTC Android Phone" briefly shows up, but is not possible to interact with and disappears a few moments later.

How do I use my HTC Desire HD from my Linux system?

(It does not currently have a microSD card - that is in the mail atm)
Have you switched Mass Storage mode on? Not sure about Desire HD, but it should be either in USB Settings under Settings -&gt; About Phone -&gt; USB Settings, Settings -&gt; Wireless and network -&gt; USB Settings, or it may show up directly in the notification bar when USB is connected.

If this doesn't help, do a lsusb after connecting the phone and check it's detected.
