I want to tell ModemManager to leave my Tungsten E (Palm Pilot) alone. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS

My logs tell me:

I want to prevent ModemManager from trying anything with /dev/ttyUSB[01] or even /dev/ttyUSB*.

Create a udev rule file, e.g. /etc/udev/rules.d/80-palm.rules:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="0830", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0060", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"

Reload the udev rules:

udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger

Plug in your Palm device.

  • What about being able to ignore some ports of the device, but keep using the others? e.g. ignore /dev/ttyUSB0, but use all others? – Filip Kubicz Feb 28 '24 at 15:35
  • Ok, I found the discussion here: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/14197#issuecomment-743121487 – Filip Kubicz Feb 28 '24 at 15:36
