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

[Matt Davey <mcdavey mrao cam ac uk>]

Hi there,

Sorry you've been having trouble on openSUSE 11.
You may be having trouble with bug 484509:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484509

The first thing to do is to suspend hald while you start gpilotd.  This
will prevent gpilotd from using HAL for detecting devices, and it will
fall back to polling.

If that works, then you can try compiling from svn, or applying a patch:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-pilot-list/2008-March/msg00028.html

By the way, if you remove the sync applet from your panel that should
stop gpilotd from re-launching automatically.

Also, I've updated the wiki page to reflect the 2.0.16 release.  A
2.0.17 release is probably a good idea, as the HAL bug is affecting
distribs.

Matt

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.
