palm pilot doesn't work anymore

Hi guys,

since few weeks (maybe a kernel or udev-upgrade) i can't sync my palm with my computer.

Correct group membership "tty"
<code>
$ id joerg
uid=1000(joerg) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),5(tty),10(wheel),92(audio),93(optical),95(storage),101(scanner),102(camera),104(vmware)
</code>

The kernel recognizes the device correct
<code>
# tail -f /var/log/messages.log
May 20 13:52:38 gugguckhome usbcore: registered new driver usbserial_generic
May 20 13:52:38 gugguckhome drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core
May 20 13:52:38 gugguckhome drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Handspring Visor / Palm OS
May 20 13:52:38 gugguckhome drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Sony Clie 3.5
May 20 13:52:38 gugguckhome drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Sony Clie 5.0
May 20 13:52:38 gugguckhome visor 1-1:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter detected
May 20 13:52:38 gugguckhome usb 1-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB0
May 20 13:52:38 gugguckhome usb 1-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB1
May 20 13:52:38 gugguckhome usbcore: registered new driver visor
May 20 13:52:38 gugguckhome drivers/usb/serial/visor.c: USB HandSpring Visor / Palm OS driver
</code>


Udev loads the correct modules
<code>
$ lsmod | grep visor
visor                  18316  0
usbserial              29260  1 visor
usbcore               116256  7 visor,usbserial,usblp,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd
</code>

and creates the right devices and symlinks.

<code>
$ ls -la /dev/pilot
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 2006-05-20 13:52 /dev/pilot -> tts/USB1
</code>
<code>
$ ls -la /dev/tts/USB?
crw-rw----  1 root tty 188, 0 2006-05-20 13:52 /dev/tts/USB0
crw-rw----  1 root tty 188, 1 2006-05-20 13:52 /dev/tts/USB1
</code>

The only difference to former udev versions is that there are no /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 anymore. Know they are /dev/tts/USB?.

Everything seems to be correct. But [k|g|j]pilot are not able to open device and connect to them. Any ideas or hints?

Thanks in advance.

Re: palm pilot doesn't work anymore

Are sure you're using the latest udev.rules, and don't have a udev.rules.pacnew sitting in your /etc/udev/rules.d folder? I sync fine with jpilot using the latest kernel and udev.

Re: palm pilot doesn't work anymore

It's the newest udev and kernel version. What device are you using? /dev/tts/USBx?
