OK, something else that's broken in F8.

At some point in the past when we'd plug in a Treo 700p USB cable to
hotsync (which occasionally actually worked), devices /dev/ttyUSB0
and /dev/ttyUSB1 were created to access the phone. Now when I plug it
in I only see lines like:
Feb 23 15:35:26 prez kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device
using uhci_hcd and address 3
Feb 23 15:35:26 prez kernel: usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from
1 choice
When I plug in my Verizon broadband wireless USB modem I see ttyUSB0 and
ttyUSB1 created, but no longer for the Treo.

Any ideas/hints on why the tty devices are no longer created?

did you...

cp /usr/share/pilot-link/udev/60-libpisock.rules /etc/udev/rules

also note that the actual ports used /dev/ttyUSBx are less important
because it should automatically create a linked device /dev/pilot and
that would be what you want to use

Craig

Both the files 60-libpisock.rules and 60-pilot.rules. Useless.

Also, the file 60-libpisock.rules references the group "dialout" which
doesn't exist. This suggests some install process which didn't run (and
didn't copy files and create the group). I have the following packages
installed:
gnome-pilot-2.0.15-10.fc8
gnome-pilot-devel-2.0.15-10.fc8
pilot-link-0.12.2-17.fc8
pilot-link-devel-0.12.2-17.fc8

Maybe I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling these. I don't have days
and days and days to waste tracking down all these F8 problems, though.
Looks like a move back to F7 is in order. The kernel I'm running is
2.6.23.15-137.fc8.

Dumb question - did you also copy the 60-pilot.perms to
/etc/security/console.perms.d? This controls the
ownership/permissions of the USB port. You will probably have to log
out and back in for the rules to take affect.

I didn't copy over the permissions file. The ttyUSBn devices aren't
being created with the wrong permissions--they're not being created at
all.

I gave up on most of these F8 bugs, to be honest. I'll go back to
Windows for what doesn't work in F8.

Question about another F8 bug: where does the "Shutdown" applet (menu
System -> Shut down...) get the "You are currently logged in as" value?
It shows on my system as "Unknown." The "User Switcher" applet knows
who I am, but the "Shut down" applet doesn't. Just curious, since it
isn't preventing anything from working.
