I just tried about 2-dozen different incantations of RUN="" lines in my udev rules, and not a single one actually was executed after restarting udev (and removing ehci_hcd, which Palm devices can't communicate across). I even tried the most-basic "/bin/ls > /tmp/udev.testing", with zero results. I'm using the latest udev, and my rules work flawlessly for all of my Palm devices over usb, so I know the rule syntax is correct for both visor and libusb sync with USB Palm devices. I tested this with my m505, Treo90, Treo650, Tungsten T2 and Tungsten T3 devices. Checking the source for udev and my existing distribution's rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/, I see quite a few differences. Any reference to the RUN lines, is actually "RUN+='/some/thing'", not "RUN='/some/thing'". Making those changes to my rules didn't help at all. Either Ubuntu broke the "RUN=" and "PROGRAM=" syntax in udev, or those who have it working are using a distribution-specific build that adds that functionality back in. It doesn't work here. -- David A. Desrosiers desrod at gnu-designs.com http://gnu-designs.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
