You first have to connect the cobalt, and activate the USB mode 
(Settings -> System Information -> USB). Only when it displays 
"connected" there, you can download dives.

You can manually check whether the Cobalt is detected correctly by your 
system with the lsusb command. If you run this command with the cobalt 
in usb mode, you should see an entry with "ID 0471:0888".
