Connecting with linux
Does anyone have a problem with Linux not recognizing when the devive is plugged into the USB? I did a quick lookthrough and havent found any answers.
What distribution do u use? I use Ubuntu and had the same problem.
Currently for some reason Ubuntu doesn't recognize the filesystem on the internal memory. The solution for me was to format the device with fat32 using windows, then it works under Ubuntu (just remeber to take a backup of all the files on the Dingoo before formatting).
Linux mint is supposed to work, so if you don't have acess to a windows machine, use a live-cd with another distribution to re-format the drive.
The reason that Ubuntu and some other Linux systems do not automatically mount the dingoo is because the default partition layout/file system on the Dingoo is whacked. See log from dmesg:
[11165.342526] FAT: Invalid FSINFO signature: 0xcefaadde, 0xcefaadde (sector = 1)
This will show up after you plugin the drive and mount it. This is how you mount it.
1) Plug device into computer
2) Wait 20 seconds or so and open up a terminal, and type "dmesg". You will see something like:
[ 3567.493068] usb 1-8: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5

Notice the device name (sdf). Make a mount point in terminal "sudo mkdir /mnt/dingoo", and then mount the device "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdf /mnt/dingoo"
You can now access your Dingoo in Linux.
Is there a sinular thing I could do in the win7 beta? I'm having the same problem
I have the same problem ...
