Hello,
I want to give a positive report for Ubuntu 0804 and a Palm Tungsten E2 and
Zire 72.
1. Add the module "visor" to the modules list in a terminal with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/modules
2. Start the module "visor" with: $ sudo modprobe visor
3. Add a udev rulefor /dev/pilot with: $ sudo gedit
/etc/udev/rules.d/15-palm.rules
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Palm*|palm*|Handspring*", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*",
NAME{ignore_remove}="pilot", MODE="666"
The OR combination "Palm*|palm*|Handspring*" should cover all devices.
=== Reboot === to make it work.
4. If you press "hotsync" on the Palm you should see the USB devices until
timeout:
r...@rudi7:~$ ls -ls /dev/ttyU*
0 crw-rw-r--+ 1 root dialout 188, 0 2009-09-10 14:10 /dev/ttyUSB0
0 crw-rw-r--+ 1 root dialout 188, 1 2009-09-10 14:10 /dev/ttyUSB1
r...@rudi7:~$ ls -ls /dev/pi*
0 crw-rw-r--+ 1 root dialout 188, 1 2009-09-10 16:52 /dev/pilot
5. Check if your username is in the group "dialout": $ cat /etc/group|grep
dialout
dialout:x:20:rudi
6. Start the PalmOS wizard. Device setting is:
Name: USB, Type: USB, Timeout: 2, Device:/dev/pilot, speed: 115200
(default=57600)
7. Daemon check: $ ps -A | grep "pilot*" should show: gpilotd, gpilot-applet
I hope this could help somebody.
Greetings, Rudolf
