I don't think I can help much more at this point as I'm not a Ubuntu user. It sounds like it might be a kernel problem. What I'd suggest is turning on debugging information in pilot-xfer, and running a system- call level trace:
You can get more information from pilot-xfer by setting the environment variables: PILOT_DEBUG="DEV SLP CMP PADP NET SOCK" PILOT_DEBUG_LEVEL="DEBUG" This output might shed some light on the level of the problem. You could also try 'strace pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l' which will produce a long output. The output of these two pilot-xfer runs could be attached to this bug report. -- Pb syncing treo 650 on dapper drake https://launchpad.net/bugs/38574 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
