Description of problem: pilot-link cannot talk to my Sony Clie SJ-22 using libusb Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pilot-link-0.12.3-13.fc9 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect Clie 2. Press HotSync 3. Run pilot-xfer -p usb: -l Actual results: Waits indefinitely for connection. Log output indicates a problem recognizing the device. Expected results: Print list of Palm databases to the terminal. Additional info: Works with visor. A patch is attached which seems to fix the problem (it enables pilot-link to talk to my Clie, anyway). Applies cleanly against pilot-link-0.12.3-13.1.fc9 sources from SRPM. With an RPM with this patch applied, I can successfully use pilot-xfer and synchronize with PilotManager.
Created attachment 311086 [details] Patch to make pilot-link use USB_INIT_SONY_CLIE for SJ-series handhelds
A thought: apply this patch to the F9/devel branch, where the reporter and others can test, and if it works out ok apply it to F8 (F9 only has doc fixes queued, whereas F8 already has functional changes perhaps best separated?). I guess the only worry is that it might stop other Clie with the same VID/PID from working - though I think this unlikely.
I note from pilot-link CVS and mailing list that Michael's patch hasn't been applied upstream (though I can't see any reason why!). I've put Michael's patch, and the USB ID for the TJ-37, into a patch attached to bug #436063 comment #12 (see that comment for more details). Michael, could you test the RPM I built, please? (Or the package patch directly if you wish) http://www.krp.myzen.co.uk/pilot-link-0.12.3-15.fc9.i386.rpm If it works ok for you and Joe I propose we apply it the the Fedora package; if this also doesn't throw up any issues I'll go upstream and try again.
Hello, thanks to both of you - for now the patch is applied in fc9 cvs and devel cvs - I will put it to fc9 test branch soon (pilot-link-0.12.3-15.fc9, pilot-link-0.12.3-16.fc10).
