[Gllug] Urgent Help re USB please

No, that's not necessary.  I've found making this work is a bit of a black art 
- sometimes it fails the first time and subsequently works quite often (for 
me).

One thing that I have found to work is using dlpsh first, although that's not 
a very satisfactory solution I know.  Install and run dlpsh (USB1 should be 
right - my Clie connects to USB0 and USB1 too, but HotSynching uses USB1):

$ dlpsh -d /dev/usb/ttyUSB1

Hit HotSync when it says to and you should enter a shell that'll allow you to 
communicate with the Palm.  Of course, you don't want to do anything like set 
the time, so now exit dlpsh and try HotSynching with KPilot.

This Works For Me (TM) and I've not bothered to find out why.  Usually Kpilot 
will sync for me the second time I try anyway.

Good luck! :o)

Richard.
