Re: [Evolution] Pilot synch



Thanks Martin,

That has been my experience for some years now, too.  What I find
difficult to comprehend, is that in this whole open source thing, that
the gnome/evolution developers have not used the jpilot sync code,
because it works really well, every time. My problem is that in my
tiredness and frustration I screwed up in jpilot and did not choose
"restore handheld" but merely synchronised and my empty pilot blitzed my
desktop data in jpilot.  Now I need to get my data back from evo onto
the pilot.  It would be nice if there were a way to export the address
data from evo to jpilot, and then at least I could start using my pilot
again.

I assume you're using the Tools/Pilot/Sync menu from within EVO.

In my case I had success when - and only when! - I set the conduits anew
every time I use the Pilot.

Maybe that helps.

Regards Martin

Hi All,

I have recently had my notebook and Palm Tungsten stolen, and for the
moment I need to re-instate my PalmIII, which is a serial device. Set up
thus:

[andrew localhost ~]$ ll /dev/pilot
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 10 Nov  3 16:04 /dev/pilot -> /dev/ttyS0

ownership of /dev/ttyS0 is 

[andrew localhost ~]$ ll /dev/ttyS0
crwxrwxrwx  1 root root 4, 64 Nov  3 17:09 /dev/ttyS0

I am also a member of the uucp group

I set up the Pilot to use /dev/pilot

The Pilot is recognised with my user number being Andrew Greig 7177
whereas mu ser number in the Mandriva  2006 box is 501 (as usual)

The sync starts but gets nowhere.  I set the conduits to copy data TO
the Pilot but the synch operation reports:

"The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop was lost.
Some of your data was NOT backed up.
gnome-pilot v.2.0.13
On host localhost
Copy to pilot EAddress"

I really need to sort this out.  Any help appreciated.
