You can setup udev or hotplug rules, depending on your system, to change the permissions of the devices so you don't need to be root. The latest CVS has the proper udev rules in the udev/ directory, if you want a starting point. Also, the binary packages should set this up for you automatically. As for the icon, I assume this is in the device itself. I don't believe bcharge has any control over whether it charges or not... only how much power it will draw. If you let the battery drain a bit, does it recharge again as expected? - Chris

It doesn't charge and I was mistaken when I said btool finds it, btool crashes with Usb:Error caught: Timeout in usb_bulk_reader - Chris > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express > Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take > control of your XML.

I'm not sure what is causing it not to charge. I'm told that this device works on other linux installs, so maybe there is a system difference that matters. Could you post your "lsusb -v" output when you get the above timeout? And your "uname -a" output. Thanks, - Chris

I saw this happen on a non-Pearl device, in person today, and it was using the same Ubuntu kernel. People report on the Ubuntu forums that it worked fine in edgy, stopped working in fiesty, and then starts working (sometimes only occasionally) in gutsy. I'm suspecting there may be a kernel change that's affecting this. Other distros, like Fedora 6's 2.6.20.* kernel don't seem to behave this way. And it doesn't seem to matter about the hardware either. A desktop and a laptop both running Ubuntu exhibit this behaviour. I'm taking a stab at looking at the kernel diffs... maybe I'll get lucky and find what's going on. :-) You might try upgrading to a gutsy kernel, and seeing if this fixes it for you. Or perhaps compile your own 2.6.21.1 kernel. - Chris

That's "feisty" of course... better spell it correctly so the search engines can find it. :-) - Chris

I compiled my kernel and everything worked perfectly, Did you ever find out what the issue with the feisty kernel was?

Which kernel did you compile? Did you use the Ubuntu sources, or a vanilla kernel from kernel.org? Unfortunately, I haven't discovered what the problem is yet. - Chris
