All of a sudden, I'm unable to connect my 1st gen. Kobo Glo to my Laptop.

It usually worked without any kind of problem (I sideloaded a book not earlier than 15 days ago), but today I was totally unable to connect it.

My laptop has is a dual boot Linux/Window machine, I tried on both systems, with a lot of different USB cables, everytime without success.

On the Kobo device, plugging in a cable correctly detects to be linked to a PC, it even asks the usual confirmation to connect, but the computer won't detect it.

Is there anything that I can try to solve this?


Under Linux, if I try to run dmesg -v whe I connect the device, I get this info:
