Mageia3 doesn't like my Palm Zire 72

[Shlomo Solomon]

strange - I get conflicting results.

[solomon at shlomo1 ~]$ id
uid=500(solomon) gid=500(solomon) groups=500(solomon),418(vboxusers)

[solomon at shlomo1 ~]$ groups
solomon vboxusers

[solomon at shlomo1 ~]$ cat /etc/group |grep solomon
dialout:x:83:solomon
solomon:x:500:
vboxusers:x:418:solomon

On the other hand, you're right - this is a permissions problem. I
tried the same command as root and it worked.
