Unable to hotsync Palm with JPilot 1.6.1
Hi,
Running Slackware 12.2 I am having trouble hotsynching my Palm T|X using JPilot 1.6.1. The Palm is detected as: Code:
usb 4-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0830, idProduct=0061 Code:
**************************************** Code:
andrew@skamandros~$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* Any advice would be appreciated. Andrew |
Hi,
I am sooooo stupid! The hint of course was here: Code:
andrew@skamandros~$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* Andrew |
I had the same situation with Fedora 11. The solution is not to point the port to /dev/ttyUSB1 but to usb:. I did the same to gpilotd-control-applet.

I had this problem with my T3, and I didn't want to add my user to the uucp group (I am not particularly familiar with this group *at all*, but I think there may be security implications in adding a user to this group...but take that with a grain of salt). I added some udev rules to change the group ownership of /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 to the plugdev group, of which I am of course a member. I created the file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules containing the following line:
Code:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL=="ttyUSB[13579]", SYMLINK+="pilot", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660", OPTIONS+="last_rule" [edit]The above line creates a /dev/pilot symlink to the correct ttyUSB device...so you would use /dev/pilot instead of hard-coding a /dev/ttyUSB1, for example. The reason it looks for 13579 instead of the first ttyUSB device is because some Palm-to-memory-card apps create an extra ttyUSB device with an even number, I believe. The /dev/pilot link here just takes all of the effort out of syncing. |
