|
|
I jsut set up my handspring visor to sync to linux. I've got the proper driver installed and when I hit the sync button and run pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -L, I get:
Code: |
langley permissions.d # pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -L
Listening to port: /dev/pilot
Please press the HotSync button now... Connected

The problem is, the device gets created with the wrong permissions so I can't perform an actual sync:
Code: |
langley permissions.d # ls /dev -l | grep pilot
crw-rw---- 1 root root 188, 1 Feb 22 12:36 pilot
|
Here is my /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-udev.permissions:
Code: |
# set Handspring Visor rw
pilot*:root:usb:0666
|
Here is my 10-udev.rules file:
Code: |
# Handspring Visor
BUS="usb",SYSFS{product}="Handspring Visor",NAME="pilot"
|
If I chown /dev/pilot to root:usb I can sync fine using kpilot. Why are the ownership and permissions not being set correctly? Have I configured something improperly? |

Bump. Do I need to include more information? I though I'd done everything properly... |

Which version of udev do you use ?
Have you tried to enable the logging of udev ? |

I use udev-052, on a ~x86 system.
I've been playing around with my rules file. II changed it to this:
Code: |
# Handspring Visor
BUS="usb",SYSFS{product}="Handspring Visor",NAME="pilot",GROUP="usb",MODE=0660
|
and it worked fine. I guess I was working from outdated information (or, I'm just incompetent). |

Hi,
a few days ago I had a similar experience with udev. First it did not work the way it should work according to my rules. And then, miraculously, it worked, from one reboot to the next. There is udev-045 on my box |

Same here (incorrect permissions). I have similar 10-* files but the permissions are being ignored.
Hopefully it'll all fall into place at some point. _________________ 6700 @ 2.66GHz, 4Gb RAM, 2 x 500Gb, 8800 GTX, PhysX, X-Fi, 24" Widescreen, Tux mascot |
