Ok. I deleted the original Pilot entry from Pilot Settings. Restarted gpilotd-control-applet and added the Tungsten again which went fine. The terminal output was as follows:

** Message: No pilot userid/username information located
** Message: Unable to load pilot id/username, assuming unset
** Message: Cradle Type -> USB
** Message: cradle device name -> Cradle
** Message: cradle device name -> /dev/usb/tts/1
** Message: Pilot Speed  -> 115200
** Message: Timeout -> 2
gpilotd-Message: Activating object OAFIID:GNOME_Pilot_Daemon
** Message: No pilot userid/username information located

** Message: Cradle Type -> USB
** Message: cradle device name -> Cradle
** Message: cradle device name -> /dev/usb/tts/1
** Message: Pilot Speed  -> 115200
** Message: Timeout -> 2

Strange thing though: after closing the applet, /usr/libexec/gpilotd kept running and prevented jPilot to synchronize. I remember that in earlier Gnome versions there was a small applet that allowed me to turn that thing on and off allowing other applications to talk to the Palm.

Nevertheless synchronizing with Gnome/Evolution didn't change a thing. Except for contacts everything is simply ignored.

Since your problem seems to be more technical we should propably compare our environments:

As of January 8th I am running a 99% stable Gentoo with kernel 2.6.9 and Gnome 2.8.2. The only unstable package regarding our problem is:

app-pda/jpilot 0.99.7-r1

The rest:

app-pda/pilot-link 0.11.8
app-pda/gnome-pilot-conduits 2.0.10-r1
mail-client/evolution 2.0.2

The hardware (kern.log after inserting the Palm):

That's it.

I do have a similar issue here. My Tungsten E synchronizes perfectly with jPilot. With Evolution only contacts are somewhat working. Memos / calender are simply ignored. Not even an initial forced copy from Palm to Evolution works - no warnings no errors.

So at least I guess we are not alone ;-)


OK, let's try an experiment to see if we're really on the same page. Run
`gpilotd-control-applet` from a terminal window, and see what the output
looks like when you try to set up a new Pilot and click "Get ID from
Pilot" or whatever the button says...

If you see the following on the terminal output, we are indeed in the
same boat:

(gpilotd-control-applet:8611): gpilotd-WARNING **:
gnome-pilot-client.gob:484: Caught exception:
IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0

Then we will figure out what's going on - WE SHALL EMERGE VICTORIOUS!
