Bonjour,

I have cell phone Nokia 3120 and I want to connect it to my computer
with a usb data cable.

When I plug it, I get this in the log files:

What can I do?

Thanks for helping.



Looking at your error messages, it could be a simple issue of Linux 
running to fast for the phone to accept the address.  I ran into this 
with a USB stick.


This is the instructions to get around that problem.  It may work for you.


-C/P
1. Always back up config files before editing them:
sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/options /etc/modprobe.d/options.backup1
Now open /etc/modprobe.d/options in write mode:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options

2. Add the line:
options scsi_mod inq_timeout=20
and save the file.
Seemingly reloading the module (scsi_mod) does not cause the new 
configuration to take hold. What worked for both he and I was to 
reinstall the kernel.


3. Type uname -a and take note or memorize the exact kernel version 
numer you are using.


4. Use the above kernel number to reinstall your kernel. For me it was:
sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
This will take a couple of minutes.

5. Reboot and test. This fixed it for Mario and has worked great for me. 
Note that there is probably a better way to make the new configuration 
take effect other the reinstalling the kernel. Whoever knows what that 
is could post that and we would have a better solution.


This confirms that the bug is just that the device does not wake up 
quickly enough. These instructions are for anyone who has these key(s) 
and is receiving the -110 (and possibly other) errors while attempting 
to use them.


--  End C/P

A test to see if the above fix will fix your problem is to insert the 
key, and shut down the machine. Start it back up, if it recognizes the 
drive and mounts it (or lets you mount it), then the above steps should 
fix the bug and allow you to use the key normally.

 Try gnokii (yum install gnokii).

Hmm - userbase could really use a Tutorial section on connecting devices like 
this.  I don't suppose you could start it off?  If it helps I'll prepare a 
place-saver for you, and help if you want a basic template to work to

If that was directed at me Anne, I'm willing to help where I can but I
mentioned gnokii in this case just because I knew of its existence. I do
remember playing with it a year or two ago but I'm sure there are other
people better qualified to talk about it. I'd probably just copy bits of
the manual.

Yes, it was directed at you :-)  

So, François, if you install it, once you've had a little time to find your way 
around, will you help us with this?

Come to think of it, it opens up a whole new section, so perhaps it had better 
be on the back burner for a little longer.
