fix the application.. Latest pilot-link upgrade completely broken on my machine. It either complains it cannot find the device nodes - or - if the device node is found, it hangs waiting for the sync to begin. (Even if the palm is already awaiting connection) Pilot-link even fails if I create static device nodes. (So slow udev node creation isn't the source of the problem.) [gilboa ~]$ pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -l The device /dev/ttyUSB0 does not exist.. Possible solution: mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c <major> <minor> Unable to bind to port: /dev/ttyUSB0 Please use --help for more information (Press hotsync) [gilboa ~]$ pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -l Listening to port: /dev/ttyUSB0 Please press the HotSync button now... (Pilot-link hangs. Ctrl-C to exit Stop the hot-sync) [gilboa ~]$ pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l The device /dev/ttyUSB1 does not exist.. Possible solution: mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c <major> <minor> Unable to bind to port: /dev/ttyUSB1 Please use --help for more information (Press hotsync) [gilboa ~]$ pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l Listening to port: /dev/ttyUSB1 Please press the HotSync button now... (Pilot-link hangs. Ctrl-C to exit Stop the hot-sync Try creating static device nodes) [gilboa ~]$ su Password: [gilboa gilboa]# mkdir -p /etc/dev [gilboa gilboa]# mknod /etc/dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0 [gilboa gilboa]# mknod /etc/dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1 [gilboa gilboa]# ln -sf /etc/dev/ttyUSB1 /etc/dev/pilot [gilboa gilboa]# chown root:uucp /etc/dev/* [gilboa gilboa]# chmod 0660 /etc/dev/* [gilboa gilboa]# exit exit [gilboa ~]$ pilot-xfer -p /etc/dev/ttyUSB1 -l Port not connected, sleeping for 2 seconds, 5 retries.. (Press hotsync) Listening to port: /etc/dev/ttyUSB1 Please press the HotSync button now... (Pilot-link hangs. Ctrl-C to exit) [gilboa ~]$ Forgot to add: $ rpm -qa | grep pilot | sort gnome-pilot-2.0.15-1.fc6.i386 gnome-pilot-2.0.15-1.fc6.x86_64 gnome-pilot-conduits-2.0.15-1.fc6.x86_64 gnome-pilot-devel-2.0.15-1.fc6.x86_64 jpilot-0.99.8-8.fc6.x86_64 pilot-link-0.11.8-16.i386 pilot-link-0.11.8-16.x86_64 pilot-link-devel-0.11.8-16.x86_64 FYI, Creating a static ttyUSB2 (c 188 2) node works just fine. (The udev created one [under /dev] doesn't still work) - Gilboa On my computer, pilot-xfer create ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 and tries to use ttyUSB1. This fails on a read. If I manually specify -p /dev/ttyUSB0 it works fine. It I use /dev/pilot, /dev/pilot is linked to ttyUSB1 and it just hangs a times out. In my case the one to talk to is NOT ttyUSB1 it is ttyUSB0. Pilot symlink rule is removed in FC7 from udev. The last devel/fc7 version of pilot-link package (pilot-link-0.12.2-4.fc8/pilot-link-0.12.2-4.fc7) fixed these problem. |
