SE P990i on Kubuntu - HELP!

[wizzkid]

HI, I tried pluging in my Sony Ericsson P990i to my kubuntu box with the cable that comes with the package. I see the phone is charging but I cannot find the icon of P990i on the desktop or elsewhere. So I tried issuing command "lsusb" and I get output

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0fce:d030 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c518 Logitech, Inc.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

My aim is to be able to connect/sync my phone to kubuntu box, so i could sync my address book, transfer files, and install application!

Your thought and response to this matter is hightly appreciated!


Thanks!

Hi I tried to install gnokii an kmobiletools.. gnokie doesnt run, it open the splash window but nothing happens. On the Kmobiletools, it says thatt I dont have device plugin. It asking for a device address.. /dev/what_device. however, I do not know where the P900i mount or if it mounts. When I plugin the P990i on USB. no icon shows on the desktop, unlike with thumbdrive or in memory card readers.

Also, I have a bluetooth and was able to transfer files from pc to phone vice-versa... can I use this also for a connection to kmobile or any mobile phone 3rd party software ?

Your thoughts and response will be highly appreciated!

Thanks.

I don't have a P990i so I can't help much, but want to add that Kubuntu Edgy can detect my K750i's memory card.
