mindwave Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 ok, long story short. The Palm Lifedrive PDA, when connected via USB and the hotsync button is pressed it immediately breaks and then re-establishes the connection, thus killing the ability to hotsync. Thats a well documented error HOWEVER, the PDA has WIFI and it seems as though everyone in the world can sync that way, but me. So looking through LOTS of issues and blogs etc, I find this statemet: "Be sure you have pilot-link installed, to test the connection type "pilot-xfer -p net:any -l" Press the HOTSYNC icon on the PDA and you will see it FLY BY" so just for grins I open a konsole, type that in, I get a message saying "pilot-xfer listening on port net:any" and the darn thing synced up IMMEDIATELY and SUPER fast! SO my question is this: obviously I have pilot link installed (plus I verified it through the package manager). Am I MISSING something on THAT installation? OR better yet, is there a brute force way to INSERT that into the boot process ("pilot-xfer -p net:any -l") AND have it reload when its done with the sync last night mine quit after the sync was done. any and all ideas welcome!
