kpilot stops responding

I got the same bug here.

System is a IBM Thinkpad T41p
Palm Tungsten E

The dmesg output is very similar.

frahi@asterix:/home/frahi >dpkg -l |grep kpilot
ii kpilot 3.5.2-0ubuntu5 KDE Palm Pilot hot-sync tool
frahi@asterix:/home/frahi >uname -r
2.6.15-21-386

I have to reboot to get it working on /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1 again, if I just restart kpilot, the device is attached as /dev/ttyUSB2 and 3. Anyone knows a workaround of this issue? udev rule or something.

I also noticed that bug using a Sony Clie PEG-SJ33/E. After the "crash" (the messages are very similiar to the messages above quoted) I get the following continuously repeated message in syslog:

May 12 17:16:28 whitestar kernel: [4296971.950000] visor ttyUSB0: visor_open - failed submitting read urb, error -19

I have to reboot. But the computer can't finish rebooting, so I have to use the reset-button.

Hallo,

now I observed that if I delete the module rfcomm from memory syncing my Sony Clie works fine. So there may exist a problem using the visor and the rfcomm module at the same time. Perhaps this is a bug of the bluetooth-system.

So your complete system hangs? This is different here.
Unloading the rfcomm Module also does not change the situtation here.
Having a closer look to the dmesg output I discovered, that the backtrace is different here to the bug message:
[4389040.659000] Call Trace:

Yes, my system hangs after the "visor-crash" when it goes to halting at the moment, when bluetooth is removed. So I got the idea to delete rfcomm from main memory and after that I can synchronize my Sony Clie without any problem.

this problem is not just affecting bluetooth syncs as i have the same problem syncing my treo 600 over usb

with 2.6.15-20 i could get one sync per boot, with 2.6.15-23 i can't sync and managed to lock up system, tho num lock key still worked

the problem definitely looks like it is to do with bluetooth even when it isn't being used to do the syncing, i'd forgoten i had a bluetooth dongle in this machine, unplugging it and removing rfcomm, usbserial and visor then trying to sync worked

i'm having difficulty replicating this problem on a freshly installed machine, the only difference is i'm using an older sony clie peg-sl10/e for these tests

i am happily syncing while a usb bluetooth dongle is plugged in and rfcomm module loaded

on my fully up to date machine at home with no bluetooth plugged in or rfcomm loaded crashed this morning attempting to sync my treo 600

sorry ignore my last comment i forgot i had kdebluetooth installed which had loaded rfcomm even tho the device wssn't plugged in or in /etc/modules

Same here with gpilot & Sony Clie PEG SJ-33.

The Keyboard stops responding, gpilot freezes and reboot stucks at bluetooth shutdown.

I'm having the same problem here, with all 2.6.15*686 kernels so far, on a thinkpad x40 and on a desktop pc with an intel desktop board. My palm pilot is a tungsten w.

I noticed that when hal isn't running, I can sync perfectly with pilot-xfer or jpilot without any kernel crashes, with or without bluetooth started and the rfcomm module loaded.

i'm having this issue without the hang problem using jpilot.

seems that it has something to do with visor and usbserial modules

Can any of the subscribers to this bug check if it persists with kernel 2.6.17 ?

I checked, and it doesn't persist in edgy with my palm-pilot.

Wouter

Can anyone else confirm this works in 2.6.17 ? Thank you.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this linux-source-2.6.15 kernel bug to the new "linux" package. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Also, if you would be interested in testing the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release, it is available at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Please let us know your results. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

This bug report was marked as Confirmed a while ago but has not had any updated comments for quite some time. Please let us know if this issue remains in the current Ubuntu release, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . If the issue remains, click on the current status under the Status column and change the status back to "New". Thanks.
