Package: pilot-link
Version: 0.12.5-5
Severity: important
File: /usr/share/doc/pilot-link/README.Debian

This is no longer correct:
|Permissions
|=|
|Users need to be in group dialout to have permissions to read/write on
|the Palm device.
|
|You can use adduser(8) command to add a user to a group. Do:
|$ sudo adduser loginname dialout

One now needs to be root.
Yes I read http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic....&tf063
dialout seems not enough these days.

This only works as root:
pilot-xfer -p usb: -D Palm/Programs/Plucker -i /tmp/201204CS_b5250754092.pdb
Being in dialout group is not good enough starting this month apparently.

Debian Release: wheezy/sid
APT prefers unstable
APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental')
Architecture: i386 (i686)

Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-486
Locale: LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash

Versions of packages pilot-link depends on:
ii libc6 2.13-30
ii libpisock9 0.12.5-5
ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-1
ii libpopt0 1.16-3
ii libreadline6 6.2-8

pilot-link recommends no packages.

Versions of packages pilot-link suggests:
pn libpda-pilot-perl <none>

* shared/pilot/port: ttyUSB1

I have not changed anything related to access rights in the package.

The access rights are set by the udev rule file
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libpisock9.rules from the libpisock9 package.

Maybe your udev setup is broken?

Check the device corresponding to your Palm has the correct access rights.
It should be something like:
$ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/002
crw-rw-r-T 1 root dialout 189, 129 avril 25 18:28 002

Bye
