Comment 3 for bug 882054

I also have the same problem. It worked fine on 10.04 LTS, but not on 12.04. My palm is a Tungsten E2.

It is not a problem of device recognition, since the Palm shows up in the list when typing "lsusb" in a terminal, once the "HotSync" button is hit.

Since I still have a computer with 10.04, I found a workaround, but it is cumbersome: I launch jpilot and execute the sync on that 10.04 computer, then transfer the /home/user/.jpilot folder from the 10.04 computer to the 12.04 computer.
