Error trying to copy books off of the prs500
I'm trying to copy of few books off of my prs500 that I don't have in my library. When I do so though I'm getting the following error (both in the gui and from the cli).
Code:
$ prs500 ls /
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm still getting the same errors after restarting both my computer & the reader. I have also upgraded to the latest version. The only difference is that I get a seg fault now at the end but per another thread you said I could ignore that.

Do I need to do a hard reset on my device?

Code:
$ prs500 ls /
Traceback (most recent call last):

yeah try that. That error maens that the device is not responding to USB commands properly.

Well I hardreset the device and then tried to upload a book through the GUI to it. I received the following error.

Code:
Job: Upload 1 books to device:The Shadow Rising
PathError: Could not create file /Data/media/books/The_Shadow_Rising_-_Robert_Jordan_88.lrf. Response code: 0xffffffd7L
Traceback:

I'm also still getting the "Could not read 32 bytes on the control bus" error also. I'm thinking something is message up with possibly me system but I don't know where to start looking.

Forgot to add the following that I see in my Syslog when I try the 'prs500 ls /' command:
Code:
kernel: [  779.173310] usb 5-6.3: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd prs500 rqt 192 rq 129 len 32 ret -110
