Hotsync with the previous version o Ubuntu was problematic. I had to try all sorts of deep magic and all I got were inconsistent results.
All that changed with 7.04. All I had to do to sync was the following: 01. Add the Pilot applet to the Gnome task bar. 02. Left click on the resulting icon to get gnome-pilot settings. 03. Add a new PDA and choose "Get from PDA", to retrieve settings from my Treo. 04. Sync, without a problem, every time. You'll probably want to adjust the Conduit settings, but you need to make sure you have good and frequent backups. Evolution messed a lot of my contacts up. Let me know if that works.
