I have followed the above Wiki article, and have hit a snag.
In the article it says
Start off by attempting to get the basic information about the PDA. Run
pilot-xfer --port /dev/tts/USB1 --list and hit the hotsync button on the
PDA when prompted. It should spit out a list of information. We're not
terribly interested in the information, just the fact that communication
is possible.
Note: If it reports something like...
The device /dev/tts/USB1 does not exist..
Possible solution:
mknod /dev/tts/USB1 c <major> <minor>
Unable to bind to port: /dev/tts/USB1
Please use --help for more information
...it means that your udev daemon is not creating the right
/dev/tts/USB* files. But if you run pilot-xfer AFTER pressing HotSync
button, the pilot-xfer does not report the problem, and USB* show up in
the /dev/tts dir. Try changing from USB1 to USB0, or try using
/dev/pilot after pressing the HotSync button.
I am getting that error message, and have tried resetting the path
repeatedly, and nothing seems to make a difference, Im not sure where to
go from here?
can someone please point me to a solution?
