Description Bryan Perry 2005-09-08 18:28:32 UTC
In evolution, I set up the synchronization and am asked to press the hotsync
button to gether user info, but nothing ever happens. I watch /var/log/messages
to see if the device is recognized or mounted or anything, but I get nothing.

Here's the pilot stuff I have installed:

rbsp16:~ # rpm -qa|grep pilot
gnome-pilot-2.0.13-7
pilot-link-devel-0.11.8-129
evolution-pilot-2.4.0-3
gnome-pilot-devel-2.0.13-7
kdepim3-kpilot-3.4.2-13
pilot-link-0.11.8-129
rbsp16:~ #

Where else can I look for debug info? I have tried all the USB ports I can think
of, /dev/pilot, ttyUSB0, 1, 2, 3, 4 but nothing happens.
Comment 1 JP Rosevear 2005-09-09 12:06:44 UTC
Is the pilot daemon running? ps ax | grep gpilotd

You probably want to add the pilot applet to the panel, it will run the daemon
for you.

Still unable to sync in RC3
Comment 3 JP Rosevear 2005-09-14 18:02:08 UTC
kill gpilotd it and run it from the command line.  Try to connect and see if
there is any spew.

Nothing happens when I try to sync any of the devices.
Comment 5 JP Rosevear 2005-09-14 18:53:57 UTC
Nothing is configured.  gnome-pilot predates hal/dbus and is archaic.  If you
load the applet in the panel it should automatically ask to configure, if not
right click->preferences.

Having hal/dbus/g-v-m doing something smart for pilots is currently what jeff is
working on.
Comment 6 Bryan Perry 2005-09-14 21:32:30 UTC
Doing tail /var/log/messages I see a bunch of this stuff when trying to sync
devices:

Comment 7 Jeff Stedfast 2005-09-27 16:03:01 UTC
just set the default command for palm pilots to gpilotd-control-applet, so this
should be fixed now
