Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Still no connection in Ubuntu Gutsy

Hi,

> Anyone a clue on what file/device to try a chmod first?

OK, I know some more details now, but have no solution yet. The following 
stuff worked well on my previously used Gentoo system:

/etc/hotplug/usb.usermap did not exist on Gutsy (which surprised me as all 
systems I know get shipped with a well prefilled file). So I created it and 
entered
# Garmin
garmin 0x0000 0x091e 0x0003 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 
0x00000000
The 0x0003 is for the Gpsmap as grepped from lsusb (could be mentioned by the 
docs BTW).

Then I created the garmin script in
/etc/hotplug/usb/garmin
and entered the commands as recommended by
http://www.gpsbabel.org/os/Linux_Hotplug.html

I made the script executable, but it does not seem to run. I even added a line 
like
echo "foo" > /tmp/garminfound
to it (outside the if statement) but I do not get any file in /tmp

The next thing I tried was
lsusb | grep -i garmin
Bus 003 Device 031: ID 091e:0003 Garmin International GPSmap (various models)
and then
chmod 0777 /proc/bus/usb/003/031
ls -l /proc/bus/usb/003/031
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 57 2007-10-28 19:17 /proc/bus/usb/003/031

But when I try to run
gpsbabel -i garmin -f usb:-1
as user, I still get the error message. As root, I can access the device.

I'm now a bit stuck as my knowledge about the usb subsystem and the various 
permissions are very limited. Anyone here who knows the right place to search 
for more information?

Best regards,
