Hi folks, I'm a newbie and admit that I have little idea what I am doing. I am trying to get my Sony USB based palm pilot (model PEG-SJ22) to synch with built in programs under mandrake 9.2 I am currently using the Gnome desktop, and have tried synching with both jpilot as well as kpilot.
When I try to synch, this is what kpilot has to say about it: ================================== Version: KPilot 4.3.10 (BRANCH) Version: pilot-link 0.11.8 Version: KDE 3.1.3 Version: Qt 3.1.2 HotSync Log 22:17:01 Pilot device /dev/pilot doesn't exist. Assuming the device uses DevFS. 22:17:02 Trying to open device... 22:17:02 Could not open device: /dev/pilot (will retry) 22:17:08 Device link ready. 22:17:08 Checking last PC... 22:17:09 KPilot 4.3.10 (BRANCH) HotSync starting... 22:17:09 [Conduit abbrowser_conduit] 22:17:09 Running with flags: 22:17:10 No Files to install 22:17:10 End of HotSync 22:17:10 HotSync Completed. 22:17:12 Pilot device /dev/pilot doesn't exist. Assuming the device uses DevFS. 22:17:13 Trying to open device... 22:17:13 Could not open device: /dev/pilot (will retry) ================================== There does seem to be some communication taking place between the computer and PDA as the PDA hotsynch log registers: "KPilot 4.3.10 (BRANCH) HotSynch" and shows the proper date and time that I tried to initiate the synch. I have tried various settings both on the pilot as well as in kpilot. What does "/dev/pilot" mean? I looked in the /dev directory and found no entry for "pilot". Do I need to create this? If so how? Any help would be much appreciated ! Thanks a bunch. Gideon Turner
