I have one last thing to get evolution to work to its utter perfection. So far every thing is running swimmingly so I figured I would tackle PALM sync. Specs: Thinkpad T41, Samsung i500 (phone/palm), SuSE 9.2, gnome-pilot-2.0.12-3,pilot-link-0.11.8-126, evolution-pilot-2.0.1-6.2, evolution-2.0.1-6.2 Error: I run gpilotd-control-applet I can enable "Backup", "Test", and "ECalendar" but if I enable "ToDo" or "EAddress" gpilotd crashes. I will then get duplicate contacts in my palm and it also hangs the palm hard. Questions: 1) Poking around I find wisej wizej:~/.evolution/addressbook/local> directory where I believe would be all the local contacts. Can I backup just this director and restore it in my tests to make sure I don't mess up my contacts? 2) Some of my contacts get sent to my palm but not all. I have not found the key or methodology as to why some are and others aren't. Is their a set of key fields that must be filled in? 3) Is their a way to sync both local and global ECalendar events to the palm. I have personal events scheduled and don't want to have them show up in the corporate calendar so I keep them local, but my goal is to have my phone remind me if I have a corporate meeting coming up.
I've had similar problems after which I tried multisync. Because I was never really happy with it I gave gpilotd another try. That's what I did: - I had all the important data already in evolution - then, I deleted contact, databook, and todo database on the pilot (using Zcatalog) - then, open DateBook, ToDo, Address to recreate (empty) databases on the pilot. - go to the evolution conduits, select copy to pilot (on all the conduits) - sync After that, synchronization (in both directions) worked again (and is still working). hope this helps, Hp. -- Hanspeter Kunz Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Ph.D. Student Department of Information Technology Email: hkunz ailab ch University of Zurich Tel: +41.(0)44.63-54306 Andreasstrasse 15, Office 2.12 http://ailab.ch/people/hkunz CH-8050 Zurich, Switzerland Spamtraps: hkunz bogus ailab ch hkunz bogus ifi unizh ch --- May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full mooon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way to your door.
