Reynaldo, I haven't replied for a while as I had to downgrade my 7.10 ubuntu to 6.10 (server) als the gusty gibbon caused too many problems with firefox among other applications.
I think that my problem had to do with the device settings rather than the name of the pda as you suggested. The standard setting for the device name in the gpilot gui is MyPDA which I have not changed as I'm only syncing one pda. I have set my palm at /dev/ttyUSB1 and therein can a problem occur. I discovered that with my many attempts to get the thing working, the pda started out as being recognised as being at ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1. Later it appeared on ttyUSB3, ttyUSB4. The PDA apparently is recognise on two ttyUSB points at the same time and you pick as for as I know the last of the two (in my case ttyUSB1). It seems to me that when the palm pda was recognised as being on ttyUSB3 and 4 that GNOME/Pilot/UnknownPilot:1.0 error message occurs. I have written a line into /etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules as suggested in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PalmDeviceSetup?highlight=%28palm%29 I cannot say if this solves the problem completely as I don't understand udev very much but I would suggest that others check out their device settings ( in system-preferences-palmOS devices) and where the pda actually is on startup using for example tail -f /var/log/messages if they are having the same problem. Another tip is to run gpilotd from the commandline, then you see what's happening and get error messages. I can now sync with evolution calendar etc and install files to my pda. -- There is no way to install .pdb .prc files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
