This should return some miscellaneous information about your reader. If it works you're all set.
On some distributions, you have to give non-root users access to the SONY Reader devices. Add yourself to the plugdev group (as root)
<pre class="wiki">gpasswd -a username plugdev</pre>
On some distributions, you have to give non-root users access to the SONY Reader devices.
First check what group the SONY reader devices are assigned to by
<pre class="wiki">ls -l /dev/sd?</pre>
If you've just plugged in your reader, the reader devices should be at the bottom of the list. On
my system I get
<pre class="wiki">
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 0 2008-05-27 13:50 /dev/sda
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 16 2008-05-27 13:50 /dev/sdb
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 32 2008-05-28 07:43 /dev/sdc
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 48 2008-05-28 07:43 /dev/sdd
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 64 2008-05-28 07:43 /dev/sde
</pre>
Thus the group needed is disk. Add yourself to the group with the command
<pre class="wiki">gpasswd -a username groupname</pre>
</p>
Now reboot and you're done!
