There is more info attached to the upstream bug, but the summary so far is:
some palmos devices appear to have problems if a sync is attempted immediately after the device connects to the host computer. gnome-pilot 2.0.14 uses HAL to detect a palmos device, and so tends to attempt a connection considerably faster than in 2.0.13 and earlier. It's not clear what is causing this problem, but it seems to be in the usbserial / visor module case, so configuring libusb is a good workaround. Disabling HAL before attempting a sync also appears to work. A patch is being worked on, and a testable gnome-pilot tarball can be downloaded from the upstream bug. -- gpilotd locks up my Palm Z22 https://launchpad.net/bugs/66355 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
