I restarted my computer and it works now. It'd be really nice to discover a) what triggers this problem and b) how to fix it without rebooting (oh, my precious uptime!). Also, on a more sour note, after a seemingly successful sync, it seems that Evo unmarked all my "finished" tasks so that on my Palm I now have hundreds of tasks on my ToDo list dating back to January and it takes forever to scroll down to the current and undated tasks. If I go and fix them all using Evo, is it going to do this again? Is this a known issue? I'm using the 11.07.16.47 snap. --Eric On Mon, 2001-11-12 at 18:38, Eric Lambart wrote:

I've seen this occur when you run things over ssh and and then run them locally (or vice versa). -JPThanks for your quick reply, JP. No, no SSH here. Installed, perhaps, but I've never used it. I forget if I did something specific to fix this problem before; it may have just been a snapshot or other update, but I used to have this problem, it went away, then everything worked. Then I started having sync problems and couldn't restart gpilotd after shutting it down. I haven't tried restarting the computer... hate to kill that uptime :) I may try that tonight. I did just install the latest version of sawfish (from sourceforge, I think), which doesn't seem to work at all with Ximian's gnomecc and has some other minor problems though it generally works great. --Eric
