Last night an experienced admin tried to connect my BB with Ubuntu 
Hardy.
No way. :(

Perhaps you saw his email already, but Hal Burgiss reported that he had
success with the following command on Ubuntu 8.04:

	sudo rmmod ehci_hcd

Your issues sound similar, not quite identical, but it's worth a try.

If you're installing the binary packages, such as barry-util, this
package should already drop a blacklist file under /etc/modprobe.d
which disables the berry_charge module.

You can check whether berry_charge is loading with:

	lsmod |grep berry

If it is loading, you do need to disable it if you plan to use bcharge.
You only need one or the other.  Sometimes berry_charge doesn't work so
well, but when it does, then it shouldn't matter which one you use.
Just don't use both at the same time.

I tried it. But still "lsusb -v" does not find the BB.

No result.

That bug report mentioned stopping udev.  Have you tried stopping udev
before plugging in your device?

As for udev "grabbing" the device, were you able to tell what was doing the
grabbing?

Appointment with 0 duration

I noticed a minor bug, and thought I should bring it to the developers' 
attention.

I have the habit of putting tasks in my calendar as appointments with zero 
duration. Most applications handle this just fine. However, I've noticed when 
I sync with my BlackBerry, the BB calendar shows the appointment as occupying 
a full 24 hours. The most interesting part of this behavior is that it 
reminds me of the appointment both before the original occurrence of the 
appointment, and the next day when the appointment is scheduled to end.

I'm using Kontact on Kubuntu Hardy 8.04 as my calendaring application.

I'm using self built x64 binaries of Barry source checked out on 20080807.

Barry has been real reliable for me the past six weeks. Thank you for your 
excellent product!

No. I trusted the experienced admin, that he would have done it, if it
could help to find a solution.

Of course I can do it now, but I suppose that stopping it will cause
several consequences on the system.

Sorry Chris. I'm so unexperienced with administration and in reading
system messages, that I only could perform commands (and post the
results), which you or others tell me.

Unfortunately I get no answer to my post in the forum (german
language) of ubuntuusers.de yet.

I'd recommend rebooting and then running the following on an otherwise
idle system, as root:

	/etc/init.d/udev stop

That should stop it, then plugin your device, and then try the lsusb:

	lsusb -v

At this point, check whether berry_charge is loaded:

	lsmod | grep berry

After this experiment, reboot again, and all will be back to normal.

Thanks for the report.  I haven't had a chance to look at this closely yet.

Is the "All day appointment" flag set in the BB when this happens?
Or is it just an anomaly with the time values?

Thanks,
- Chris

Indeed: My device appears in the list now.

Does that sign fortifies the assumption that the problem is one of the 
kernel of Ubuntu?

No output from that command.

Thanks again for your time you spent to help me :)

New 8830 wont tether

CHris and team,

Just replaced my old 8703e with an 8830.  It will not tether anymore.
I changed the password in the barry-verizon script otherwise I'm using
the same setup as the older BB.  I'm currently using version 0.13
2008/07/16.  What are your recommendations?

Thanks
MIke
