Bugzilla Bug 50150

When I try to backup my Sony Clie PEG-T415 to my Linux box running 2.4.23
kernel,  it pilot-link just hangs saying:

Listening to port: /dev/tts/1

   Please press the HotSync button now... 

I've tried /dev/tts/1 and /dev/tts/0 because I can't remember which one it is.

This used to work. Looking at /var/log/messages I see this:

May  5 19:37:27 MCP kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:02.0-1, assigned address 8

I have the visor driver compiled into the kernel.

do you happen to have gpilotd or something running in the background? it doesnt
look like its the kernel's problem because it detects and assigned the right
tts device.

Nope, no gpilotd. No hotplug either.

have you tried reporting this upstream?

oh btw, have you looked and see if your clie is similar to this on ine bug
52550?

No, I don't use gnome-pilot. But actually I talked with the pilot-link guys and
they said I should first recompile visor as a kernel module (I build all kernel
features into my kernel) to better help them debug this problem with me. I did
so and the error messages are now no longer being displayed and hotsyncing
works again.

oh ic .. sorry, i was a bit confused when i posted that comment. but thanks for
getting back to us, so i'll close this bug out then since there's nothing we
can do on our side.
