I am on the Ubuntu. Wasn't on Fedora (12). On Fedora, as root, I get: ~]# bcharge -o Scanning for Blackberry devices... Found device #008...already at 500mA...adjusting Pearl mode to single usb_reset failed: could not reset: No such device ...done ------------------- "btool -v" yields a very long output with this toward the end of it: Device ID: XXXXXXX. PIN: XXXXXXX, Description: RIM BlackBerry Device, Interface: 0x0, Endpoints: (read: 0x82, write: 0x2, type: 0x2, ZeroSocketSequence: 0x7 (I X-ed out the device ID and PIN ) --------------------------- On Ubuntu, "sudo bcharge -o" yields just the line "Scanning for Blackberry devices..." and "btool -v" output ends with "No device selected" ALSO: The Fedora 12 barry is a local build, while the Ubuntu currently has distribution packages (via apt-get) I added myself to user plugdev on Fedora but that didn't seem to let me do "btool -v" and stuff as non-root; as non-root i get "permission denied" messages. > > On 02/18/2010 02:07 PM, Andrew wrote: > > On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 12:03:06AM -0500, Chris Frey wrote: > > > >> On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 11:25:12PM -0500, Andrew wrote: > >> > >>> Here are the packages currently installed on the Ubuntu: > >>> > >>> barry-util > >>> barrybackup-gui > >>> libbarry0 > >>> opensync-plugin-barry > >>> > >>> seems like barrybackup-gui is a subset of the overal gui ? > >>> > >> The barrybackup program is the only GUI that comes with Barry right now, > >> and it provides backup and restore. > >> > >> The rest makes up the library, header files, the command line utilities, > >> the udev rules and bcharge program, and the opensync plugins.
