<snip>I'm attempting to get my Handspring Visor to work with Debian stable and I'm running into some errors that for the life of me I can't figure out.
<snip>My issue is strange in that the visor works once in a while, but when it does and how and why seem to be completly random. For example, this morning I pushed the hotsynch button and typed in pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l and I got a listing of the files. A few minutes later, I repeated it and got the same result. I then managed to do a KPilot backup, no problem.
However, about ten minutes after that, I attempted to
synch up again and it failed. I had made no changes
whatsoever to the system. I double checked to make
sure I'd killed the Kpilot daemon in case it was
confusing things. No go. I rebooted the computer to
get to the 'clean' state that I had the first time I
tried to synch up. No go.
This is a long shot, and probably is not the problem, but if I remember correctly, if the Visor itself is at the screen that says something like "Sync complete. View Log?", it won't synch again until you get off that screen. But I could be way off-base here; this is just a kind of vague memory of mine.
