hi all.
i just bought a bit fury, which I can't get to detect on either os x or linux, more specifically ubuntu 13.10.
I wondered if anyone could give me some clues, or at least let me know they've managed to get it working on either of the above. I have read just now that ubuntu isn't the friendliest of OS's to get them working on, but i've managed to get past the list of pre reqs. but the device just doesn't appear. I've tested the ports with other devices, moved the device, etc.
I then moved the device to my 2013 Macbook pro, but it still doesn't detect. Im following this article

the device itself is in good condition after its journey to me. it lights up with the green LED. I do sometimes see the red one which goes out after a while. I haven't yet found a guide which explains what the LEDs mean though.
so anyone been successful with these devices? which OS, anyone on ubuntu?
