Couldn’t get my old Palm Tungsten T to work with pilot link. After reading around and trying various things with dev files, I eventually found this post about a bug in pilot link.
Sure enough, removing the visor module with
sudo modprobe -r visor
meant the Palm now responded to
pilot-xfer -p usb: -l
and I got a lot of output about files on the Palm when I hit the sync button on the USB cradle.
So, I have added
blacklist visor
to
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
so that module won’t be loaded in the future.
Hopefully this bodes well for my attempts at seamless synchronisation of my Palm Tungsten|T on Ubuntu

Thanks for this post! The pilot-xfer -p usb: -l command was very useful.
However, I could only make my Tungsten T work in Ubuntu with the visor module, not without.
Which GUI do you use? (if any)

Alexander,
I was trying to use JPilot as I recall, though I have tried a couple and could have been using any at the time.
Though, does that matter ? Don’t this all go via pilot-link ?
I wasn’t getting any joy from my Tungsten T, that’s why I reverted to the terminal for a while to see if I could shed more light on the issue.
I was using a Tungsten|T in a Cradle that was USB connected to the machine.
