Hello, I am running ubuntu breezy badger on a samsung x20 xvm 1600II. I recently bought the forerunner 305 unit and do now try to download some data from it to the computer. Looking on the webpage of gpsbabel, it appears to me that something like gpsbabel -D9 -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F blah.gpx is appropriate. So, I unplug my usb mouse, plug in my garmin, and run lsusb: Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 002: ID 091e:0003 Garmin International GPSmap 60C / GPS 18 / Vista C Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Nice thing, seems to be there and recognized. However, running gpsbabel -D9 -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F blah.gpx results in: GPSBabel Version: 1.2.6_beta06082005 usb_set_configuration failed Nothing more. I am completely lost, usb_set_configuration does not appear in the mailing list archive, and the only bug connected to it ist the missing newline (Which is missing in my case :-)). However, what it means or how I can work around it remains a mystery. Any ideas? Thanks, Bjoern |

I don't do "Breezy Badger" but perhaps the following will prove inspirational: http://www.gpsbabel.org/os/Linux_Hotplug.html RJL |

Doing it as root solved the problem on my Debin sid Amd64 box, after I=20 made the suggested change to the modprobe blacklist (it's=20 at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist on Debian - Ubuntu probably follows that). =20 You could use sudo. I look forward to learning how to do it using an unpriviliged account. Robert? =2D-=20 David It's time to reconsider your thoughts about the iron carbon double=20 diagram. |

I don't use Debian. If someone that does would like to send me a paragraph to include on the web page, I'd be delighted to do it. > I look forward to learning how to do it using an unpriviliged account. > Robert? I remember bashing my head on this when I went to FC5, but I'd forgotten the required magic until now. I just looked it up and added it to: http://www.gpsbabel.org/os/Linux_Hotplug.html If you can morph that into a Debian spelling of the same, include it the doc you produce. Thanx, RJL |

How about: Debian Sid (unstable) and Etch (testing - to be released as the next Stable) also replace hotplug with udev. Just add 'blacklist garmin_gps' to the end of /etc/modprobe.conf. If you want udev to create the devices so they are readable and writable by non-priveleged users, create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules with contents SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="0666" -- David It's time to reconsider your thoughts about the iron carbon double diagram. |

Oh heck. Meant to save that as a draft. Please disregard and delete. I'll finish it later. Sorry 'bout that, chief. -- David It's time to reconsider your thoughts about the iron carbon double diagram. |
