Hi all,
I'm trying to get my girlfriend a Linux system, and am making a fool
of myself :(
Nah, you're looking like a true geek!
She needs to have a working mechanism for syncing her palm device. I
Good bloody luck! I've had no end of difficulty trying to
successfully and consistently sync various palm devices. This goes all
the way back to me trying with my Palm III under Mandrake 6 in '99.
I'm not sure about gnome but in kde there are various options for
synching - all which work to some degree of success. Your main issues
are the user permissions to the usb virtual port that is created for
palm - which is usually /dev/pilot but symlinks to /TTY/USB/USB1 or
soemthinglikethat - and the timeouts on the palm device.
What Palm Pilot does she have?
