What output do you get when you start the hotsync the first, second, and subsequent times? When it
fails, I usually see a message about pi_bind() failing, though other messages are possible.

Also, as Matt said 2.0.10 is very old. I do remember having problems with gnome-pilot a few
versions back (though never to this extent - which means my setup must be different than yours). I
would try 2.0.13 at the least, or the 2.0.14-pre5 release Matt mentioned. With 2.0.13, gnome-pilot
doesn't crash or get hung up.

With regards to Evolution: the conduits in 2.6 should work without any problems. The last time
they were modified was just before 2.6 was released. As of then, they were working fine for me.

I wish I could help you more; I know upgrading isn't always what people like to here. Glad that
killing gpilotd does make it work for at least one sync.

Hope this helps,
Nathan Owens
