Package: hal Version: 0.4.8-8 Severity: important Connecting a Windows-CE device via USB causes a call to hald-probe-serial. This is bad for a Windows-CE device as hald-probe-serial is trying to open the ttyUSBx device what causes the Windows-CE device to start the connection-initiation-sequence. This sequence couldn't succeed, because no program is waiting for a connection on the pc-side. This wouldn't be that bad if the Windows-CE device would accept a second triggering of the connection-initiation-seqnence by appropriate desktop software (synce-serial). But unfortunately, Windows-CE devices didn't allow a second trigger. Hence, with the present hal-package no USB connection with an Windows-CE device is possible.
A proper solution would be the integration of the SynCE package (especially the synce-serial package) into hal, such that synce-serial-start would be called instead of hald-probe-serial on device-connect and that synce-serial-abort would be called after the device is unplugged. Please let me know how we could achieve this goal - or maybe an other appropriate solution. best regards Volker Christian [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maintainer of the SynCE-packages -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.2 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.82 Add and remove users and groups ii dbus-1 0.23.4-8 simple interprocess messaging syst ii dbus-glib-1 0.23.4-8 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libc6 2.3.5-12.1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-storage0 0.4.8-8 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal0 0.4.8-8 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii pciutils 1:2.1.11-15.3 Linux PCI Utilities ii udev 0.070-2 /dev/ management daemon ii usbutils 0.71+cvs20051029-4 USB console utilities hal recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
