[opensuse] Palm Pilot problems
I borrowed a Palm Pilot to use. I can't seem to get it to connect to my computer at all. I am not too familiar with these at all so please bear with me. The back of the unit says Palm TX, I have the usb cable for it. It can also connect via wireless, and I have actually done that while testing. When plugged in and I do an lsusb I do not see it in the list of devices, I do see my kb, mouse, and printer. The computer is an AMD 64, suse 10.2-x86-64 From what I see ther palm software Kpilot and Kitchensink are installed but I can't get them to see any device. How do I proceed?

Ok, I did a couple hrs of googling and reading and have found the error of my ways. Thanks, Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, be sure not to tell any secrets. We wouldn't want anyone else to be able to connect to their Psalm Pylots.

Hi Patrick, I have a weird problem, If I ask a question while doing some searching I usually end up finding my own answer, well at least 80% of the time. Ok, I'll spill the beans! :>) My search went to kpilot.org which redirected to http://cvs.codeyard.net/kpilot/faq.php I found this info: SuSE 10.0 (perhaps other Linuxes): Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules and include the line (wrapped for clarity -- it should be a single line): KERNEL="ttyUSB*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="pilot", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0666" I opened up Kpilot and it ran perfect. Hope this helps someone else. Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
