I have been trying to backup my Nokia 5140 phone. I just bought a CA-42 cable which works in Windows but not in Ubuntu.
After looking at the output from dmesg I have been trying port /dev/ttyUSB0 but without luck. What am I doing wrong?
[29351.260062] usb 6-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2

[29351.487780] pl2303 6-2:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
[29351.509290] usb 6-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[29351.509330] usbcore: registered new interface driver pl2303
[29351.509336] pl2303: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver
It looks to me that the Prolific serial to USB adapter is being detected OK at ttyUSB0 but it won't connect.
Update: I installed gammu, ran gammu-config and finally got a connection.
Wammu is too buggy to use and gnome phone manager does not work at all!
