Description of problem: Palm Tungsten T5 - /dev/pilot symlink is not created when the device is hot-plugged. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-077-2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. plug in the Palm Tungsten T5 2. push the HotSync button Actual results: symlink /dev/pilot is not created Expected results: symlink /dev/pilot -> ttyUSB1 should be created. Additional info: Tungsten T5 has not the SYSFS{product} field "Palm Handheld", as the corresponding line in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.conf expects. It has "palmOne Handheld" product name. I suggest adding the following line after the line 47 of 50-udev.conf: KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{product}=="palmOne Handheld*", SYMLINK+="pilot"
also using ubuntu, in this distro i use: /etc/udev/rules.d/10-pilot.rules: BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*|Handspring *", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", NAME="ttyUSB%n", SYMLINK="pilot", GROUP="usb", MODE="0666" [+] (in ubuntu) sudo gedit /usr/share/gnome-pilot/devices.xml Scroll down the file and locate "your" device. Well, in my case, my device wasn't present at all so I had to insert it: <!-- Palm Tungsten T --> <device vendor_id="0830" product_id="0060" /> <!-- palmOne Handheld --> <device vendor_id="0830" product_id="0061" /> [!!!] there could also be another entry for id 0061 -> check and comment out .. urls: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=78918 http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=383772&postcount=4 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=176164
