Re: can't sync with Tungsten T2

[Callum Macdonald <gnome-pilot-list callum-macdonald com>]

Hey Darren,

You could try loading gpilotd from a console, so you can see any error 
messages.

To do that, first remove the sync applet from the task bar. Then open a 
terminal and run gpilotd (it could be /usr/libexec/gpilotd or 
/usr/bin/gpilotd) then press the sync button.

That might provide some useful errors.

Cheers,


Callum.
