"I realize that 8.10 is still in alpha, and we should expect breakage to happen. However, Mr. Crowther's comments about not being able to sync with Evolution on 8.10 alpha 3 concern me. The workaround using usb: instead of the visor module does not work for me on an up-to-date 8.04 system with a Palm m130. I had hoped that this would just begin to work again with a new version of the kernel. Mr. Crowther, was your 8.10 alpha 3 system created from a clean install or a dist-upgrade?"
Good point; I used dist-upgrade, which has always given clunky results in the past. I use a separate partition as "home", so the likelihood of importing the same problem to even a "clean" install is high, if it is a settings issue. In the interests of checking if this is the case, I have, over the past few months, reverted to 7.10, using my Live CD, without formatting my home partition, and synced successfully. I then reinstalled 8.04 from a Live CD, including formatting my home partition, so no existing settings or permissions would have been carried over, and cannot sync. I tried to compile the 2.6.25 kernel and made a hash of it (killed my nvidia driver and decided it was too much trouble to put right), so I decided to wait until Ubuntu started to use a kernel other than 2.6.24. That (so far) hasn't helped. I will do an install of 8.10 from a Live CD in October, when it is released in all its final majesty, perhaps then..............? You will gather I am not a tech expert, so I need a solution that pretty much works "out of the box", and this issue is a long way off that for me yet. -- visor module broken in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS's kernel (2.6.24-16) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226197 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
