In order to sync with the PDA, the user will need to have read-write permission to the port indicated by $PILOTPORT or --port <port> used by the libpisock library. /dev/pilot ========== /dev/pilot is no more used by pilot-link. You shall indicate the port to use either with --port <port> or by the environment variable $PILOTPORT. Note the bit about /dev/pilot - and read the earlier part of this bug report. :-) > Followup-For: Bug #396751 > > Stopped working for jpilot.

You need to change the --port setting, then tap HotSync on the Palm *before* clicking Sync in the GUI. Test your connection with: $ pilot-xfer --port /dev/ttyUSB1 -l (or /dev/ttyUSB0, depending on your results) Either way, ensure /dev/pilot is consigned to history. Newer versions of pilot-link in unstable drop /dev/ttyUSBfoo altogether in preference for libusb connections with '-p usb:' -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
