Hi,

working on Linux Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy and Gnome, I try to configure
gnome-pilot and get the owner and ID number of my palm. The connexion
is usb: 
When I connect, I get the owner name but the ID box stay empty.
    

Have you ever synced with that palm?  I have never seen this behaviour,
but I guess it could happen if the ID has never been set on the palm.

If this is the case, you should be able to use the configuration applet
by claiming that the palm has never been used with sync software before.
  

Actually, yes, this palm m515 has been sinced under Windows many times (I owned it since several years) but it was my first attempt under Linux. I am a bit afraid that if I send a ID number through the applet, the Palm will no longer be recognised with the current settings of Palm Desktop under Windows ?

If I go further eg with j-pilot, trying to synchronize, I get the
following message:

"Pilot inconnu - aucun Pilot ne correspond à l'ID -1179155961 Utiliser
gnomecc pour configurer gnome-pilot" which means: "Unknown Pilot - no
Pilot corresponds to the ID -1179155961. Use gnomecc to configure
gnome-pilot"
    

This message has come from gnome-pilot.  You will have to kill gpilotd
before trying to use j-pilot.

Any hint about the command to use to kill gpilotd ?

Thanks anyway for the hint...
