I've got a Palm Z22 and under Hardy I can't get it to sync at all.
I did manage to get it to sync on my boy's Intrepid box - once! That was using KPilot. But not
anymore.
I have since used JPilot and Gnome-Pilot which gave an error message that the permissions on
/dev/pilot wrong and that it couldn't write to /dev/pilot
However /dev/pilot doesn't exist!
Hitting the 'sync' button and doing a 'lsusb' (on my Hardy laptop) gives:
Bus 003 Device 058: ID 0830:0061 Palm, Inc.
Any advice or solutions?
I did find this on one forum:
<quote>
Fixed. Simply a matter of editing the files under /etc/udev/permissions.d. KPilot 4.4.6 worked fine.
<end quote>
But he didn't say what he edited....
Another suggested to:
ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/pilot
chmod 0666 /dev/pilot
But how do I know what tty to use?
Blessings,
Nigel

Try using "usb:" as the device. That's right, not "/dev.." or anything
similar, just "usb:" in System > Preferences > Palm OS devices.

I had already tried that - it gave an error message - something about 'usb' being theo 'old' way
to connect and that now it needs to be through /dev/pilot.
I think it has to do with the new way that the kernel sees devices.

Well, I use that and it works for me in Intrepid. Perhaps revert any
other changes you made and try again ?

That doesn't sound right at all.

Yes, worked for me too.
In any case, you don't need to create /dev/pilot. It is created by udev
when the kernel module "visor" is loaded. visor should be loaded
automatically when you start the sync, but just in case, try:
# sudo modprobe visor
and see what /dev/pilot is set to.
