------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-07 22:10 ------- The problem is still valid. If the system knows that a USB device / Palm has attached then ---surely--- it must know which port it has attached to ?!?!? If that really is the case then it would be better if no desktop icon appeared at all ! -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: Having read the pilot-link web pages, how-tos, man pages etc. I was expecting to `lsmod' and see usbcore, usb-uhci, usbserial and visor. All I see is usbcore and usb-uhci. Pressing the Hot Sync button on the Palm produces a KPilot icon on the KDe desktop. Pressing this launches KPilot which reports: 22:11:53 Trying to open device... 22:11:53 Could not open device: /dev/pilot (will retry) `lsmod' output is usbcore and usb-uhci /dev/pilot is a symbolic link to /dev/usb/tts/1 `modprobe'ing usbserial and visor make no difference at all `lsmod' produces the output: visor 10440 0 usbserial 21468 0 [visor] usb-uhci 24652 0 (unused) usbcore 72992 1 [usbdnet visor usbserial usb-uhci] The Pilot is connected via the cradle cable into the USB port. It makes no difference if "Cradle/Cable" or "Direct USB/Serial" options are chosen on the Pilot before doing the Hot Sync. Running `addresses' outputs: No $PILOTPORT specified and no -p <port> given. Defaulting to '/dev/pilot' ERROR: No such device (19) Press the HotSync button first and relaunch this conduit.. Unable to bind to port: /dev/pilot None of the pilot-link programs can contact it. How does KDE pick up the fact that there is a Palm attached when none of the USB modules know about it ?!?!
