Hi, After doing some hacking in pilot-link for the z22 to get to work with libusb (and to work at all, because visor is also no more working), I've already made a (dirty) patch for pilot-link (see the "z22 F7 problem" thread for more details) to get pilot-xfer to work. Now the next problem is gnome-pilot. It came to my attention that it worked every time the first time the z22 was connected to the computer after a reboot, and it would not work anymore the next times. So I did some investigation and figured the root of the problem. When the z22 is connected, the hal_device_added function in gpilotd.c is called a few times, each time with different hal information. only one time this part of code will succeed: if (!(bus = libhal_device_get_property_string (hal_ctx, udi, "info.bus", NULL))) { return; } if (strcmp (bus, "usb_device") != 0 ) { libhal_free_string (bus); return; } So this means gpilotd is waiting for a "usb_device" to be added by hal, which works the first time. But the next times the "usb_device" is not added anymore, as this device stays available in hal. Here is a part of the output of hal-device: 0: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_830_61_noserial' linux.subsystem = 'usb' (string) info.product = 'Palm Handheld' (string) usb_device.device_revision_bcd = 256 (0x100) (int) usb_device.product = 'Palm Handheld' (string) usb_device.product_id = 97 (0x61) (int) usb_device.speed = 12 (double) usb_device.vendor = 'Palm, Inc.' (string) usb_device.can_wake_up = false (bool) usb_device.configuration_value = 1 (0x1) (int) usb_device.linux.device_number = 16 (0x10) (int) info.linux.driver = 'usb' (string) usb_device.device_class = 255 (0xff) (int) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_0_0_0000_00_02_0' (string) usb_device.bus_number = 2 (0x2) (int) usb_device.device_protocol = 0 (0x0) (int) usb_device.is_self_powered = true (bool) info.subsystem = 'usb_device' (string) info.vendor = 'Palm, Inc.' (string) usb_device.version = 1.1 (double) usb_device.num_interfaces = 1 (0x1) (int) usb_device.vendor_id = 2096 (0x830) (int) usb_device.speed_bcd = 4608 (0x1200) (int) usb_device.version_bcd = 272 (0x110) (int) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_830_61_noserial' (string) usb_device.linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-3' (string) usb_device.num_configurations = 1 (0x1) (int) info.bus = 'usb_device' (string) linux.device_file = '/dev/bus/usb/002/016' (string) usb_device.num_ports = 0 (0x0) (int) usb_device.max_power = 500 (0x1f4) (int) linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) usb_device.device_subclass = 0 (0x0) (int) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-3' (string) so if I do "hal-device -r /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_830_61_noserial" this item will be removed from the hal list, and the next time I connect my z22 gnome-pilot will work! So now I know the cause of the problem, but I don't know how to fix this. Should hal normally remove this device? Should gnome-pilot not wait for an "usb_device" but for something else? ... ? Can somebody help me on this? Kind regards, Tom Billiet |
