[Bug 39587] [dapper] gpilotd does not recognize USB sync attempt (regression since gnome-pilot_2.0.13-0ubuntu14)

[Brett Johnson]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-pilot (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Syncing more-or-less worked in the previous version of gnome-pilot, but
broke completely with dist-upgrade I did around April 12 (gnome-pilot
2.0.13-0ubuntu16)  I think I was running 2.0.13-0ubuntu14 before.

FWIW, I tried changing the device gpilotd is supposed to be watching to
/dev/ttyUSB0, and that didn't work either.

I can sync the pilot with jpilot/pilot-link, so I think the problem is
isolated to gpilotd, or bonobo, or something gnome-pilot'ish :)

Hopefully helpful additional info:

kill gpilotd and start it running on a console:

$ kill 14832;gpilotd --sm-disable

Then I push the hotsync button on my palm, while watching
/var/log/syslog:

Apr 14 11:41:50 localhost kernel: [4630258.127000] usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 15

And nothing happens.  No output from gpilotd at all, nothing in syslog.
Finally it times out, and I get the USB disconnect in syslog:
