Barry and mount as drive problems

English Applications
1

I’m using the latest barry from malcolmlewis’s repo (download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/malcolmlewis/openSUSE_11.2/).The problem I’m having is actually two fold. The first is probably an easy YES/NO answer. Does barry/opensync sync with google? I have not been able to get it to work correctly.

The second issue is a little harder. When barry is installed, my computer can see the Blackberry, but it will not allow me to mount it. I mount the Blackberry to transfer photos off of it and to transfer music to it. When barry is installed I can no longer do it. Once I remove barry (and it’s dependencies) it works just fine. The issue is with barry or one of it’s dependents.

I have searched through the forums and google but nothing I have tried has worked. I would like to be able to use barrybackup, etc and transfer my other stuff.

Forgot to mention my system: I’m on suse 11.2 x64, kernel 1.6.31.12-0.2

Hi
For the first question, I don’t think it’s possible. I suggest asking
direct to netdirect;

Can you post the output without barry installed when you plug the
device in.

Then install barry, plug the device in and run dmesg again and post
that output.

You could also look at using the usb_modeswitch which is for toggling
from one to the other. My blackberry doesn’t have storage (8703e) so
haven’t tried the switch routine.

I tried usb_modeswitch before, but could not get it to work. I think it was user error. rotfl!

you know looking through dmesg, it would appear that bcharge is interfering with usb-storage and SCSI. Like bcharge is taking control of the Blackberry and not letting go or stopping SCSI from a direct connection.I just don’t where or how to fix this.

Hi
What commands did you try?

Try;


usb_modeswitch -v 0fca -p 8004

Can you post the output from


usb_modeswitch -W

Hi
Correct, it’s the udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/ 65-blackberry.rules

any clue on what to change?

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", \
	ATTR{idVendor}=="0fca", ATTR{idProduct}=="8004", \
	RUN="/usr/sbin/bcharge -p %p"

I’m not sure how to write udev rules. I’ve trying to get around to reading up on it.

Hi
On the blackberry device is it set to Auto enable mass storage? I think
you need to change that to prompt you.

I set it to prompt and plugged it back. It did NOT prompt me to enable mass storage.

Hi
Can you mv the following two files and see how it goes;


cd
sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-berry_charge.conf .
sudo mv /etc/udev/rules.d/65-blackberry.rules .

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I moved those two files and it works. I moved the blacklist file back and it still works!

The problem appears to be the 65-blackberry.rules. I put that one back and it does not work anymore.

Hi
But do you get the prompt on your phone?

Are you able to perform a barrybackup ok?

Can you confirm the blackberry is charging?

Barrybackup works and it is charging. I can mount the internal memory and transfer files to and from the blackberry.

To verify the charge I just did bcharge and it gives this:

Scanning for Blackberry devices...
Found device #012...already at 500mA...adjusting Pearl mode to dualDetecting possible kernel driver conflict, trying to resolve...
...done

And the blackberry is showing a charge and the battery level is increasing.

Hi
So it looks like your good to go without the udev rule then, just keep
the blacklist :slight_smile:
