Description of problem: Palm device does not sync Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel: 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl gnome-pilot-2.0.10-4 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect usb cable to PDA. 2. Initiate hotsync from PDA. 3. Wait for PDA to timeout. Actual results: PDA times out without syncing or connecting. Expected results: PDA connects properly and syncs data properly. Additional info: This worked last week (before March 7) but I don't sync every day so can't pinpoint the day it started to fail. My system is completely errated, including the coreutils and other stuff that came out in the past week. tail /var/log/messages: Mar 14 16:32:27 SLOBBIT kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1f.2-1.2, assigned address 9 Mar 14 16:32:27 SLOBBIT kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor / Treo / Palm 4.0 / Clie 4.x converter detected Mar 14 16:32:27 SLOBBIT kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 944 Mar 14 16:32:27 SLOBBIT kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor / Treo / Palm 4.0 / Clie 4.x converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs) Mar 14 16:32:27 SLOBBIT kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor / Treo / Palm 4.0 / Clie 4.x converter now attached to ttyUSB1 (or usb/tts/1 for devfs) Mar 14 16:32:30 SLOBBIT usb.agent[16961]: missing kernel or user mode driver visor Mar 14 16:32:31 SLOBBIT kernel: Device 08:00 not ready.

Check the timeout settings in gpilotd (if you have the pilot applet on your panel, click that, edit your palm device, and try setting the timeout to (say) 4 seconds. It appears that the "check and try to sync" loop in gpilotd has (by default) the same timeout (2 seconds) as the palm itself uses to send intial data packets down the link and its pretty easy to get a situation where gpilotd continually misses the data sets. [You also need to make sure permissions are right - ie /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 can be modified by you - it appeared by default this was set wrong in FC2]
Fedora Core 1 is maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thanks! NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is reaching the final end of support even by the Legacy project. After Fedora Core 6 Test 2 is released (currently scheduled for July 26th), there will be no more security updates for FC1. Please use these next two weeks to upgrade any remaining FC1 systems to a current release.
Closing per lack of response. Also note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version.
