Public bug reported: These problems do not occur on my hardy system, nor do I recall them occurring on jaunty.
The visor module is required to communicate with PalmOS handhelds. Normally it sets up ttyUSB ports and enables communication via those ports with pilot-link, jpilot, etc. However, since karmic, connected PalmOS devices are crashing instead of communicating. The LifeDrive will crash immediately on connection if the visor module is active, or will crash upon visor insertion if visor is not active when it is connected. The CLIÉ I have access to (PEG-S320) will not crash until I cancel a HotSync operation. I attribute the difference between the two to the fact that the LifeDrive seems to always have a serial connection open. For the LifeDrive, I have the following dmesg sequence: (visor not active, LifeDrive connected) [ 1466.748169] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9 [ 1466.881499] usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice (visor inserted) [ 1471.671375] USB Serial support registered for Handspring Visor / Palm OS [ 1471.672985] USB Serial support registered for Sony Clie 3.5 [ 1471.674030] USB Serial support registered for Sony Clie 5.0 [ 1471.678580] visor 1-3:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter detected [ 1471.679203] usb 1-3: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [ 1471.683173] usb 1-3: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB1 [ 1471.683251] usbcore: registered new interface driver visor [ 1471.683258] visor: USB HandSpring Visor / Palm OS driver (LifeDrive crashes) [ 1474.596135] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 9 [ 1474.597209] visor ttyUSB0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 [ 1474.597569] visor ttyUSB1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1 [ 1474.597652] visor 1-3:1.0: device disconnected [ 1475.264101] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 11 [ 1475.388125] usb 3-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 [ 1475.616123] usb 3-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 [ 1475.832125] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 12 [ 1475.956127] usb 3-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 [ 1476.184114] usb 3-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 [ 1476.400127] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 13 [ 1476.808109] usb 3-1: device not accepting address 13, error -71 [ 1476.920131] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 14 [ 1477.336069] usb 3-1: device not accepting address 14, error -71 [ 1477.336121] hub 3-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 ProblemType: Bug AplayDevices: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC269 Analog [ALC269 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Architecture: i386 ArecordDevices: **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC269 Analog [ALC269 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: matt 3553 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Card0.Amixer.info: Card hw:0 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xf7eb8000 irq 16' Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC269' Components : 'HDA:10ec0269,1043834a,00100004' Controls : 12 Simple ctrls : 7 Date: Sun Aug 30 18:33:20 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 MachineType: ASUSTeK Computer INC. 1000HE Package: linux-image-2.6.31-8-generic 2.6.31-8.28 PccardctlIdent: PccardctlStatus: ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-8-generic root=UUID=564b6024-8d7a-4d50-8410-563167a8756a ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-8.28-generic RelatedPackageVersions: linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-8-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.16 RfKill: 0: eeepc-wlan: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no SourcePackage: linux Tags: ubuntu-unr Uname: Linux 2.6.31-8-generic i686 dmi.bios.date: 07/23/2009 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 1002 dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.board.name: 1000HE dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.board.version: x.xx dmi.chassis.asset.tag: 0x00000000 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: ASUSTek Computer INC. dmi.chassis.version: x.x dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr1002:bd07/23/2009:svnASUSTeKComputerINC.:pn1000HE:pvrx.x:rvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:rn1000HE:rvrx.xx:cvnASUSTekComputerINC.:ct10:cvrx.x: dmi.product.name: 1000HE dmi.product.version: x.x dmi.sys.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 ubuntu-unr -- [karmic] visor module crashes PalmOS handhelds (tested: LifeDrive, CLIÉ) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421673 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
