I'm using gnome-pilot to sync a Sony Cli
I'm using gnome-pilot to sync a Sony Clié PEG-T625C with evolution-1.4 I added a gnome-pilot applet on my gnome bar so that gpilotd is launched when I log in. When I dock my clié and then try to sync it (dock button or HotSync application on PalmOS) the first try fails 99% of the time. USB0 and USB1 both show up in /dev/tts/ but the sync times out about a minute later. If I try again right after, everything works fine. Since USB0 and 1 are still not gone, the visor module adds USB2 and 3. (my gpilot conf has two entries for both USB1 and 3) here is the output of lsof : stratos root # lsof /dev/tts/USB* COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME gpilotd 11180 remi 38u CHR 188,1 19347 /dev/tts/USB1 stratos root # killall gpilotd stratos root # killall gpilotd gpilotd: no process killed stratos root # lsof /dev/tts/USB* lsof: status error on /dev/tts/USB*: No such file or directory lsof 4.73 [snip ...] And here is some dmesg output from the first and second tries: usb 1-2.2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5 usb 1-2.2: palm_os_4_probe - error -32 getting connection info visor 1-2.2:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter detected usb 1-2.2: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB0 usb 1-2.2: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB1 usb 1-2.4: 400mA over 100mA budget! hub 1-2:1.0: 200mA over power budget! usb 1-2.2: gpilotd timed out on ep0in usb 1-2.2: USB disconnect, address 5 visor 1-2.2:1.0: device disconnected usb 1-2.2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6 usb 1-2.2: palm_os_4_probe - error -32 getting connection info visor 1-2.2:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter detected usb 1-2.2: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB2 usb 1-2.2: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB3 usb 1-2.4: 400mA over 100mA budget! hub 1-2:1.0: 200mA over power budget! usb 1-2.2: USB disconnect, address 6 visor ttyUSB2: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB2 visor ttyUSB3: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB3 visor 1-2.2:1.0: device disconnected Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Dock clié 2. try to sync 3. wait for it to timeout 4. try to sync again Actual Results: All the syncs following that first try work as expected, even after killing gpilotd.

I reported this bug over a month ago. Has anyone looked at this? Should I file it upstream myself?
Try upstream. Don't know how many developers (if any) that have the requested hardware or simular.
ok, i'll file upstream If I manage to turn debugging on with useful info, I'll try to figure out what's wrong
yeah, unfortunately, i don't have similar hardware to test it on. it is better if you report it upstream. be sure to include a link to their bugzilla/bug tracking entry so we can keep track of it. thanks!
Judging from the dmesg, it looks like your USB power is having issues. This is causing USB to not follow over the connection, thus disconnecting your device. Try with another cable? Does it work with another system?
Closing as I can't find this upstream reported anywhere.
