Hi everyone, just inherited an old palm from a friend and am trying to figure out how to sync it with my debian dmachine (mostly sid). Installed jpilot, jpilot-sync, pilot-link; jpilot seems to run ithout difficulties, but I can't figure out how to sync. I have an older palm with a serial port, but my computer has no serial connections on the mainboard, so I use a serial --> usb cable and connect through a usb port. This has worked fine for me on both windoze and mac, so I think the hardware is ok. The problem seems to be that the device jpilot uses to search for my palm is not set properly. Here's the error message:
J-Pilot: sync PID = 27400 J-Pilot: press the hotsync button on the cradle or "kill 27400" pi_bind: No such device pi_bind Illegal seek Check your serial port and settings Exiting with status SYNC_ERROR_BIND Finished i tried reseting the device using dpkg-reconfigure jpilot, as suggested in the README.debian file, and set the device to ttyusb0 and later, to ttyusb1. Neither seemed to work, and both created links of the following form: ll /dev/pilot lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2003-08-19 14:35 /dev/pilot -> ttyUSB1 ll /dev/ttyUSB1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 1 2002-03-14 16:54 /dev/ttyUSB1 which looks ok to me, do others agree? What would folks suggest I do to fix the problem? Thanks for your help, Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
