I have been running Sarge and have had no problem syncing my Visor
through JPilot. Just press the sync button on JPilot and then hit the
hotsync button on the cradle. That was Sarge, this is Etch. It doesn't
work anymore. I understand that Etch is using udev. I don't understand
how to set up the udev rules so that everything will work as before. I
have spent the last day on Google. I have been to /. and to
linuxquestions. I have found the following, or its near equivalent in a
few places:
# Rule needed to create the "pilot" device
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL=="ttyUSB[013579]",
SYMLINK+
="pilot", MODE=="0666", GROUP=="users"
# Rule needed to establish the right permisions on the /dev/tts/USB* device
KERNEL=="ttyUSB[01]*", NAME="tts/USB%n", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"
I have placed these lines in /etc/udev/rules.d/010_pilot.rules and, as
root, have done:
/etc/init.d/udev restart
but I am still 8unable to sync. I have tried clicking on the button in
JPilot first and I have tried pressing the hotsync button on the cradle
first. No matter what I do I get this error in JPilot:
***************************************
Syncing on device /dev/pilot
Press the HotSync button now
****************************************
pi_bind error: /dev/pilot Permission denied
Check your serial port and settings
Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_BIND
Finished
Obviously, I am missing something! Can anybody here tell me what it
is? My wife also has a Visor that she uses extensively and she is
trying to get me to go back to Sarge just to be able to sync.
