RE: [gentoo-user] SOMEWHAT OFF TOPIC -- Palm Tungsten E, and Google Calendar
The problem for me is that the device is created and destroyed when you press the hotsync button. Pilot sync and jpilot seem to depend on the device being present all the time. To get it to work reliably, you have to guess accurately when the device is present and coordinate starting the sync (software) and pressing the hot sync button - a fairly narrow window as it takes time for udev to create the device. I can sync reliably once I worked out the timing! jpilot works well, but pilot sync requires cleaning out (kill the process(es)) between syncs. Yes its crap :( and udev is supposed to be an advance?

Holmes] 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?
