Gnome-pilot does not sync palm m505 or Treo 650
Last modified: 2005-09-27 16:03:01 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.
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.
ltclient10:~ # ps ax|grep gpilotd 27498 ? S 0:00 /opt/gnome/lib/gnome-pilot/gpilotd --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Pilot_Daemon --oaf-ior-fd=59 27951 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep gpilotd ltclient10:~ # Still unable to sync in RC3
kill gpilotd it and run it from the command line. Try to connect and see if there is any spew.

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.
Doing tail /var/log/messages I see a bunch of this stuff when trying to sync devices: Sep 14 15:31:47 linux kernel: usb 4-1.6: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 35 Sep 14 15:31:50 linux kernel: usb 4-1.6: device descriptor read/64, error -110 Sep 14 15:32:05 linux kernel: usb 4-1.6: device descriptor read/64, error -110 Sep 14 15:32:05 linux kernel: usb 4-1.6: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 36 Sep 14 15:32:08 linux kernel: usb 4-1.6: device descriptor read/64, error -110 Sep 14 15:32:23 linux kernel: usb 4-1.6: device descriptor read/64, error -110 Sep 14 15:32:23 linux kernel: usb 4-1.6: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 37 Sep 14 15:32:34 linux kernel: usb 4-1.6: device not accepting address 37, error -110 Sep 14 15:32:34 linux kernel: usb 4-1.6: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 38 Sep 14 15:32:44 linux kernel: usb 4-1.6: device not accepting address 38, error -110 Sep 14 15:32:47 linux kernel: usb 4-1.6: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 39 Sep 14 15:32:50 linux kernel: usb 4-1.6: device descriptor read/64, error -110 ltclient10:~ #
just set the default command for palm pilots to gpilotd-control-applet, so this should be fixed now
