Yes, this symlink thing is needed. Otherwise, after a run, initially set pilot symlink by debconf is erased somehow on my system. (BTW, MODE can be 0660 though. As long as you belong to the dialout group or change /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions to match with group you let the pilot user belong to. This too generous permission may cause you security bug if you make this as default install script.) > It would be best to have this configuration included in the udev package > but the USB craddle seams to be "complex" when it comes to the ttyUSB0/1 > they are using. If maintaner script completely takes care all the situation, yes. But doing so may be the source of extra bug reports since people will want different groups, this may be best left as README.Debian and /usr/share/doc/examples/*. > And I am not a udev expert.

Even if I have power on, no message comes to my screen. Your newer pilot may have auto start initiated upon plugging in. Mine is older. Once I press sync button or sync icon, it start interacting Linux with mine.

For debugging, pilot-link command line is more suitable and installing it should not bother anyone. Osamu
