From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011014 Description of problem: Attemping to synch a Handspring Visor via a USB cradle fails. When trying desktop tools the operation simply hangs. Trying 'pilot-xfer --list' (hit hot sync button then run pilot-xfer) results in an error message of "wierd packet" and "Error accepting data from /dev/pilot". /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 & 1 are owned by the user and /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 is sym linked to /dev/pilot. The hardware is believed to all be good and would synch properly when the system ran 7.1 with 2.4.3-12 kernel. Neither the 2.4.7-10 nor the 2.4.9-7 kernel allow synch to occur. Synch also fails whether the RedHat desktop or Ximian desktop is used. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press the Hotsync button 2.execute pilot-xfer -p /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 --list 3.Meditate upon error messages Actual Results: chaos> pilot-xfer -p /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 --list Port: /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 Please press the HotSync button now... Weird packet Error accepting data on /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 pi_accept: Input/output error Expected Results: The contents of the Handspring should have been returned. Additional info:
please try the new pilot-link-0.9.5-9 in rawhide if it works
