shengchieh Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 For awhile I have been trying to get J-Pilot working on this dinosaur using #!-lite (crunchbang) 9.04 (can't use KDE or GNOME on this dinosaur). The J-Pilot folks couldn't help. I also tried coldsync and PilotManager (other Palm sync programs) with compilation error. So I decided not to fuss, but just use a liveCD to add a few applications into my Palm Treo 700p (already have cable). I don't want to sync my calendar or addresses, just add some applications, so this approach makes sense. I want to boot a liveCD, access my palm files, sync, and logoff. I do NOT want to configure any program and worry about any other hassle. I.e., the distro should have whatever it needs to sync. Does Mandriva 2010 has J-Pilot, kpilot, or any other Palm sync program by DEFAULT? If so, which window environment (KDE, GNOME, or XFCE)? Please take a look at your Mandriva, if you have the latest version, and see if you have a Palm sync program built-in. If not, which linux-based distro(s) has (have) a Palm sync program? Thank for your help. Sheng-Chieh [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shengchieh Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Moderator. This is definitely the wrong forum. The "dinosaur" (I mentioned above) is this old desktop. I had trouble deciding which group to choose. This is a liveCD issue or Mandriva software issue. Sheng-Chieh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Moderator. This is definitely the wrong forum. It's in this forum because you want software to access a portable device. The software forum is for general applications that don't belong anywhere else. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 The module for KDE4 palm sync is kpilot, which is not maintained anymore. Factly, it had no updates since ages, and it will not be present in KDE 4.4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 If you want something light, just to copy files or applications across to your Palm, take a look at pilot link, http://www.pilot-link.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
