Palm syn still broken. The latest packages might have solved the problem
for a couple of people, but at least in my case, I still need Mark G.
Adams' RPMs (see below) to get my Palm to sync.
I've given up on bug-reports.
Last time I counted, I found ~10 bugs related to udev ttyUSB, pilot-*
and gnome-pilot)
I'm using the fix from:
http://zeniv.linux.org.uk/pub/people/mark_adams/
Hmm... This didn't seem to work for me. Installing the rpms like it
indicated in the readme (it said rpm -Fvh *.rpm) acted like it didn't
actually install anything. So I just extracted the files from the rpm file
like this:
rpm2cpio /tmp/pilot-link-0.12.0-0.pre4.0.fc4.2.i386.rpm | cpio -i -d
Then I added the path to the usr/bin directory that the above command
extracted to the beginning of my path. I pushed the hotsync button and then
ran:
pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -b /tmp/foo2
I ran this several times until udev got around to creating ttyUSB1, but then
it just sat there doing nothing until the Treo timed out. I also tried
coldsync with the same results:
coldsync -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -mb /tmp/foo2
:(
