How to check what USB devices are connected in Ubuntu by using the lsusb command |
|
To display a list of currently connected USB devices in Ubuntu, open your terminal and issue the following command :
lsusb
I needed to check if my mobile phone was detected by Ubuntu, when I plugged it in. As you can see from the list below, my Sony Ericsson Mobile was detected.
