Thanks for the help on this one, here's what worked for me. Running latest Intrepid Ibex, I found that qlandkarte couldn't talk to my Garmin.
$ uname -a Linux mylap 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux $ lsusb | grep Garmin Bus 003 Device 003: ID 091e:0003 Garmin International GPSmap (various models) $ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/003/003 crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 258 2009-02-01 14:07 /dev/bus/usb/003/003 So I created a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules with the following contents: SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", GROUP="plugdev" I rebooted, although looking at the README in that directory, it probably wasn't necessary. When I connected the GPS, the device now looks like:- $ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/003/003 crw-rw-r-- 1 root plugdev 189, 258 2009-02-01 15:31 /dev/bus/usb/003/003 At this point I could connect to the GPS successfully. Hope this helps. -- native Garmin-USB no longer working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114565 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
