Hi all,
I'm having a similar kind of problem with my Palm. My system also
doesn't seem to create /dev/ttyUSB* or /dev/pilot. I've added the
following to /etc/udev/rules.d:
pilot.rules
KERNEL="ttyUSB1" SYMLINK="pilot"
I also tried the following:
10-custom.rules
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB*",
NAME{ignore_remove}="pilot", MODE="666"
I got these suggestions from wiki's and howto's. Still no luck (yes, I
chmodded them). Somewhere last week this was suggested in this thread:
mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB1
Although I have only a vague idea what the command mknod precisely does,
it made ttyUSB1. But syncing the palm with gnome-pilot (pointed
to /dev/ttyUSB1) still doesn't work. It still times out. Now the strange
thing is that I also have an external USB-drive (Lacie 250G - it rocks!)
and have no trouble accessing that (though /dev/ttyUSB* is nowhere to be
found ?!). I have synced the palm with my current compu a year or two
ago with Mdk so I know it's not the cable or anything. In my quest to
get my palm working ppl have suggested trying Kubuntu and even XP... but
me liky Evolution (and the whole gnome experience for that matter) a
lot. Currently I'm running an up to date 5.04 -well except for the
firefox upgrades, but that shouldn't effect this problem, and Evolution
2.2.1.1.
Any suggestions would be more than welcome. As I'm fairly new to this
mailinglist and Ubuntu, pls let me know if I forgot some essential info
for solving this problem.
Thanks in advance,
MJ
