Hi Simon,

 Hi all,
 
 I'm trying to use my palm device (Sony Clie, Palm OS 4.1) with the gnome 
 pilot applet to sync with Evolution under Open SuSE 11.0. I've done this 
 before with OpenSuSE 10.3, but since the upgrade, it's not working.
 
 I find that the device works just fine with the jpilot application. Pressing 
 hotsync causes /dev/ttyUSB1 to show up, and that application syncs just fine. 
 However, when I add the gnome pilot applet to my toolbar and go through the 
 setup, it gets to the part where it's supposed to do that first sync (yes, 
 I've used this with sync sofware before) and the thing just hangs.

Your issue is almost certainly due to changes in hal that occurred after
the release of gnome-pilot 2.0.15.  Take a look at this recent posting
for more info and a patch:

You should raise a bug against OpenSuse.

By the way, a workaround is:
1.  kill any running gpilotd
2.  stop hald
3.  configure your palm using 'gpilotd-control-applet'
4.  restart hald

Many thanks. I believe OpenSuSE 11.1 is due out in about 2 weeks. I think I 
might just use JPilot until then, then have another try after that release. 
Otherwise, I'll look out for 2.0.17, which I infer is perhaps also capable of 
fixing this?

Cheers,
Simon
