RIM does not provide USB driver for BlackBerry on Linux. It’s been a pain for charging BlackBerry if you use Linux systems only.

Luckily, there’s Barry project on SourceForge that provides USB driver and some other utilities for sync and backup BlackBerry on Linux.

Here’re the steps to install it on Ubuntu.

1. sudo apt-get install libboost-serilization1.34.1

2. download libbarry0 from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/barry/libbarry0_0.14-0_ubuntu804_i386.deb?modtime=1222297841&big_mirror=0

3. download barry-util from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/barry/barry-util_0.14-0_ubuntu804_i386.deb?modtime=1222297761&big_mirror=0

4. sudo dpkg -i libbarry0_0.14-0_ubuntu804_i386.deb

5. sudo dpkg -i barry-util_0.14_0_ubuntu804_i386.deb

Now plugin your BlackBerry into USB port, you should see the charging icon without warning message of insufficient current.
