gnome-pilot doesn't work on openSUSE 11 (jpilot, pilot-link both work)

[z w <wzx888 hotmail com>]

Hi,

After many days search on google and tries, I'm about to conclude that gnome-pilot is not operational on openSUSE 11.

jpilot works great at the first try. I could stay on it but I've two Treo (650 and 680) that I synced together through Outlook on Windows, and I want to be able to do the same with Evolution. jpilot can't do that. jpilot can sync with two PDAs, but in different folders, so the contain of the two PDAs are not synced together.

It seems that gnome-pilot, since it manage different PDAs, can sync my two Treos.

I've created a rule file for udev:
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules :
BUS=="usb",SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*",KERNEL=="ttyUSB[13579]",NAME="%k",SYMLINK+="pilot",GROUP="uucp",MODE="0666",OPTIONS+="last_rule"

I've added in  /usr/share/gnome-pilot/devices.xml:
 
 

Remark: /var/log/message indicates that both Treo 650 and 680 are detected with the same vendor_id and product-id:

When I press the hotsync button on the Treo, the udev rule is applied so /dev/pilot is created.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 14 13:12 /dev/pilot -> ttyUSB1
Notice that in the rule, I've specified GROUP=uucp, but /dev/pilot is still in the "root" group.

pilot-xfer works great both on /dev/ttyUSB1 and /dev/pilot. So it seems to me that the udev rule is not really necessary.
pilot-install-user can also retrieve my Treo's user name and use id.

I've configured gnome-pilot-applet so my gpilotd's config is:
more .gnome2/gnome-pilot.d/gpilotd 

[General]
sync_PC_Id=-171687487
progress_stepping=1
num_devices=1
num_pilots=2

[Device0]
type=1
name=Cradle
device=/dev/pilot
speed=9600
timeout=100

[Pilot0]
name=Treo650_fr
pilotid=1392
creation=0
romversion=0
pilotusername=wzx1
basedir=/home/wzx/Palm/Treo650
charset=CP1252

[Pilot1]
name=Treo680_cn
pilotid=7195
creation=0
romversion=0
pilotusername=wzx2
basedir=/home/wzx/Palm/Treo680
charset=CP1252

For the two PDAs, user name and pilotid are values given by pilot-install-user command.
I've tried timeout with different values: 0, 2, 15, 100.

All these settings don't work, so I run gpilotd on command line for seeing what's happening:

Then nothing.

When I killed the existing gpilotd, it's reloaded at once (by bonobo, I suppose), so I had to be fast enough to launch my command line gpilotd just after killing the running one.
 
In gnome-pilot setting, I've never been able to get user name and id from Pilot.

I've also tried to run the whole thing as root, same result. 

Here is my env:
rpm -qa pilot* gnome-pilot* kernel* evolution*
evolution-data-server-2.22.1.1-11.1
evolution-2.22.1.1-15.1
kernel-default-2.6.25.11-0.1
gnome-pilot-lang-2.0.16-29.1
kernel-pae-2.6.25.11-0.1
kernel-source-2.6.25.11-0.1
pilot-link-0.12.2-112.1
gnome-pilot-2.0.16-29.1
gnome-pilot-conduits-lang-2.0.16-27.1
evolution-sharp-0.16.1.1-15.1
evolution-pilot-2.22.1.1-15.1
gnome-pilot-conduits-2.0.16-27.1

It's strange that openSUSE 11 has a gnome-pilot 2.0.16, whereas on the gnome-pilot web site, the latest version is 2.0.15.
Should I try the 2.0.15 ?

I've also tried to boot with kernel-default and kernel-pae, I don't know if this has any influence.

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks in advance.
