[kwlug-disc] Blackberry USB mode with Ubuntu?

It looks like the Max power is 500mA. According to this post
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Bold/Turn-off-mass-storage-mode-how/td-p/813041the
9780 no longer supports turning on and off the mode on the phone (done
through software I guess). I thought maybe pulling the battery, flash and
sim card might trigger the prompt (on the phone) again, but no luck.
However when I plugged the BB into my wife's Ubuntu machine the phone
prompted me for the mode, so I'm convinced I just need to find some file
and delete/change it on my box. Going to try logging in as a different user
and attempting to connect.

Thanks Chris!
