Comment 15 for bug 282491

Can anybody please find out which kind of device is used for syncing those palms? Is it /dev/ttyUSB0 (or 1, or so)?

If you do

  head /dev/ttyUSB0

in a Terminal, do you get an error message like "Permission denied"? Please try this:

  sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB*

and check if your palm syncs after that (this change does not persist across reboots, it's just a test).
