Excellent! How very gratifying. Weird that your databases have that flag set. I have no idea why that should be. Your fix looks fine. I expect I'll make the same changes on trunk and it'll show up in the next release, whenever that may be.

Well, I did say I would help debug ;-)
I followed those instructions (thanks for the link, I'm more of an rpm
guy so those were helpful on this Ubuntu laptop). I commented the "if"
statement as below:
$ diff manager.c.orig gnome-pilot-2.0.17/gpilotd/manager.c
363,364c363,364
< /* check if the base is marked as being excluded from sync */
< if (!(PI_DBINFO (dbinfo)->miscFlags &
dlpDBMiscFlagExcludeFromSync)) {
---
> ///* check if the base is marked as being excluded from sync */

< continue;
< }
---
> //} else {

> //continue;

$
and it indeed copied my Datebook/Calendar from the Treo to the proper
calendar in Evolution as instructed. Presumably the
Addressbook/Contacts will work as well now.
Can you confirm the above the appropriate long term solution before I
sync up the contacts and start syncing on a regular basis?
Thanks, this is great!

I've played around a bit, and I can't figure out where, if anywhere, the 'exclude from sync' setting might be toggled (or used). It is possible that it is an obsolete flag that gnome-pilot should be ignoring. I've asked a question on the pilot-link-devel list, and we'll see if any info surfaces there. It's odd that no one seems to have run into this issue before, to my knowledge. The solution is almost certainly to re-compile gnome-pilot from source, changing manager.c to remove the check on the "dlpDBMiscFlagExcludeFromSync".

Is the bit still toggled to on? Has it magically changed back? Might sound like a dumb question, but the DatebookDB is a bit "magic" as it is created on the fly by PalmOS as a backwards compatibility access to the ContactsDB-PAdd database. I don't have a device to hand, but I suspect there is something on the Treo that lets you mark which databases to exclude from backups. > Just to prove I was not fooling myself through all the iterations, I > enabled the Memo conduit (still not set for backup on the Palm) and > the successful sync output is included below. Well, I'm just saying that the log messages indicate gnome-pilot is deliberately ignoring those databases and not calling the address/calendar conduits as a result. The error messages about not reading the system info may or may not be significant, but I doubt it given that the memo sync is working fine. > Not sure what to do next, but thanks for the help.

According to it, both the MemoDb and the DatebookDb have the backup bit un-set, which I read as "do not backup". I toggled the backup bit to on for DatebookDb but there was no change. Just to prove I was not fooling myself through all the iterations, I enabled the Memo conduit (still not set for backup on the Palm) and the successful sync output is included below.

Below is a full log from gpilotd from an attempt to sync. I ran the config applet to confirm that the conduits were all disabled except for the ECalendar one. It is set to "Synchonize" with a one time action of "Copy from PDA". I have created a custom calendar called "Treo680" in Evolution and have selected it as the destination. I plugged in the Treo and ran sync from the sync app. When I had more enabled, others (ie Memo) did work properly, I have all my memos in Evolution. I did search the WARNINGS in the output, but nothing insightful came up. > Could it be caused by this issue: > http://lists.pilot-link.org/pipermail/pilot-link-devel/2009-October/001782.html > Can you do "pilot-xfer -p usb: -l" and see if DatebookDB exists, for > example? OK, I ran this: $ pilot-xfer -p usb: -l |tee /tmp/pilot-xfer-l.out $ grep -i date /tmp/pilot-xfer-l.out Datebk3HDB DatebookDB $ So it appears to be there. Datebook is version 4.5.1.1P, is 171K, and has 2791 records (from Info), which I don't think is *that* big.

Hmm, That's pretty strange. Is that the sum total of gpilotd output? If not, please send more complete output. I presume you've configured the conduits via the configuration applet, and specified which addressbook and calendar to sync with? Could it be caused by this issue: http://lists.pilot-link.org/pipermail/pilot-link-devel/2009-October/001782.html Can you do "pilot-xfer -p usb: -l" and see if DatebookDB exists, for example?
