p8riot Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) I've got a Clie TJ37 and am unable to synch with any of the standard pilot packages. I know that I have the connection correct because I get this response when I run pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -l Listening to port: /dev/ttyUSB0 Please press the HotSync button now... Connected Reading list of databases in RAM... <list of databases goes here> List complete. 228 files found. Time elapsed: 0:00:03 I was also able to backup the Clie to my /home/kevin/.palm directory using pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -b /home/kevin/.palm However I get no response when I try to setup the pilot in Evolution. I get to the last screen in the gnome-pilot wizard and I get no response when I hit the HotSync button. I don't get any response in Jpilot after hitting HotSync, and in Kpilot it tells me that the link is ready, but doesn't do anything after that. I have the conduits setup as well in all of the above programs. I read somewhere that it may be posible that more than one instance of gpilotd may be running, but am not sure how to check that. Could the fact that I am trying out different apps contribute to that? I have also tried using coldsync 2.2.5. I installed it according to the directions and it will not run from either the console or the "Run Application" window. My preference would to use Evolution alone. I am running on a Dell Dimension 2400 p-4 2.53GHz, with 1GB RAM dual booting with XP pro on a 40GB WD hard drive. It has integrated video & sound.

nggalai Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 With my Clié, I need to first press the hotsync button on the Clié (NOT the cradle), and then the sync button in JPilot. Works like a charm, didn't have to configure anything at all. JPilot will open a node on its own; after that first syncing, it's enough to hit the cradle button and then sync in JPilot. But in any case, it's always: first hit sync on your Clié, then in the software. 93, -Sascha.rb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8riot Posted March 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 That didn't work. I didn't get any response at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8riot Posted March 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Thanks for the help. I finally got the Clie to sync. I ended up removing gnome-pilot (which was acting wierd. Every time I booted into Mandrake I would get a half dozen gnome-pilot wizards opened up), and using Kpilot. I set it to /dev/ttyUSB0 and everything worked. I am going to end up using Kmail and Korganizer instead of Evolution, but that's OK, as long as I have something that works I am happy.
