Hello,
I'm running YDL 4.0 on a G4 400 Mhz with 512 RAM and have lots of questions and problems trying to sync my Palm device.
-snipped-
yeah i have a Keyspan USA-19Q usb<->serial adaptor i use with a palm III device... the sync'ing is now done in OSX but i had tried it in linux and it did work, you just need to find out what device the serial/usb adaptor is, and then link /dev/pilot to it...
in order to tell what device it is, you need to look in the dmesg for it... i dont rem which it is but it is probly something like /dev/ttySO1
sloopy.
Checked the link Daniel sent and couldn't follow the instructions completely but used /dev/usb/USBtty0 in the preferences of GPilot and was able to sync, but the desktop application where the data should show up is missing.
Then I did a yum remove and install of all gpilot associated stuff and it seemed to work, but still no desktop.
I also installed via yum the jpilot app and got it to sync using the same setup. Unfortunately I setup jpilot as root and when I tried to duplicate it as user it balked.
My adapter cable is some noname device but if you'll give me a little help on where to find dmesg I'll see how it's ID'd.
Thanks for help so far. I'm making progress! Gpilot created a MyPilot folder in Home and it appears to have backed up a lot of data besides the basic Palm apps. Does that mean that if I had to do a hard reset that I'd be able to recover all the data for the other applications?
