I have 11.10 running on a virtual machine on my MacBook Pro. I tried to connect my Motorola Droid Bionic via USB, but Ubuntu is not finding it (or I cannot find the mounted device). I am new to Ubuntu, any help? I am sure I am missing something easy.

(if you are running VirtualBox)
When you plugin a device in to your computer running VirtualBox and you want the device to be detected by Ubuntu you need to click on Devices > USB Devices and select the device you have just plugged in. Check the list before and after plugging in the device and note the new addition(s) to the menu.
If you want a device to be available automatically when you plugin it in go to the Ubuntu guest settings, USB tab and add a filter to the list. Next time you plug it in it will be available automatically in Ubuntu.
