Hi, After updating to RH8.0 I tried to sync again. (I had problems earlier with that.) So this report is about Evolution 1.0.8.
* Problem 1 By a coincident I started the gpilotd-control-applet in a shell so I could se the verbose output from the sync process. That was very valuable. As it happened I got an error reading something like "can't allocate -2 bytes" (That seems hard to do so no wonder it couldn't continue ;-) ) Anyway that lead me to delete the address item that was causing the problem and then the sync worked. Conclusion: There can be records in the PDA that makes the sync to crash. * Problem 2 I have a confession. I'm quite fond of using jpilot so I was experimenting with syncing with both application. Both applications needs to do a slow sync when I change application to sync with. This makes you notice that syncing with Evolution is much, much slower than with jpilot. Maybe because of the debug printouts!? (I have tried though without running in a shell too and the speed is as poor.) In my case, since I have a lot of records in the PDA, it takes hours to do the sync after a switch. This makes the scheme of using the two apps together rather impractical. Conclusion: Evolution full sync must be faster!? But that isn't enough. After jpilot has synced Evolution thinks all date book records and to do records in the PDA are new so you'll get another copy of them. Conclusion: Evolution has problems with identifying what records are new during a full sync. (Could of course be caused by jpilots sync doing something bad. I haven't seen the same problems with the desktop app from Palm before though but I haven't tested this recently with this setup.) * Clarification: If I'm just using Evolution to sync then after the first full sync there are fast syncs that are swift and records are synced between the desktop and the pda as you would expect.
