Re: [newbie] Palm sync software
I have tried both Kpilot and Jpilot and settled on Jpilot for the reasons that Marv wrote. It is verry similar to the Palm Sync software for windows. I actually use Jpilot at home and the Palm software at work and keep my Palm synced with both locations.

Does anybody successfully use a Palm Tungsten C or Tungsten E with SuSE Linux and KDE? Does it work out of the box? I unfortunately can't comment on the Palm OS 5 experience with Linux, but I've had great success with my OS 4.1 Sony Clie SJ33. Both KPilot and JPilot work like a charm (JPilot is probably the closest you'll get to Palm Desktop on Linux, while KPilot is handy for both managing conduits and quick-installing applications). For awhile, I synchronized both Evolution and KOrganizer without difficulty, but I eventually just went to JPilot as my primary PIM app. I'm even able to directly access the Memory Stick (Sony's proprietary expansion card format, analogous to the Secure Digital you'd have with the T|C or T|E), which appears on my desktop as external mass storage, easily mounted. My Mandrake installation appears to be using modules compiled to support the old Handspring Visor (to my knowledge, the first Palm OS handheld with USB sync capability). I believe these are kernel-level and should be available on SuSE; in fact, you may have something newer. Unless PalmSource have radically changed the way PalmOne devices communicate with a desktop machine, there's a good chance your handheld and your PC should be able to talk to eachother. Whether or not there would be changes in synchronizing with particular KDE apps, I can't say with any certainty. I'm sure there's Palm OS 5-specific information out there somewhere.

[newbie] Palm USB sync
Fellow Mandrakers, I'm trying to sync my Palm (not Visor, not Zaire) device using a USB cradle and encountering difficulty. I had been successful in sync-ing with the serial port, but that was very, very slow (20 minutes including Avantgo). I've scoured the net using keywords such as USB Linux Mandrake Palm Sync and various permutations there-of, but without much success. I'm concerned that I may have deleted the USB driver or somesuch.

Re: RE: [newbie] palm pilot
J-pilot was pretty easy to set up, I gave it the path to my serial port and I was able to sync. Evolution on the other hand was a b*tch to set up, in fact I still don't know what I did that made it work. In either case you may need to add yourself to the appropriate group for access to the serial port. -Original Message- From: Dan Butler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2002 19:43:45 -0500 Subject: RE: [newbie] palm pilot Did you have to do much additional configuring?

Re: [newbie] palm pilot
Yes, but it was a bit idiosyncratic to start. Let's see, from memory... I'm using serial so made a soft link from /dev/pilot to /dev/ttyS1. Configured the conduits for diary files and to-dos etc... there is a good bit in the manual about this. Remember to identify the user. Once everything you can think of is configured, close the application and kill the daemon. (Trial and error m'boy, trial and error!) Start the daemon, start the application click on the hotsync button on the app then do the same on your palm and it should work.

Re: [newbie] Palm HotSync over USB
Dear friends, The avalaible releases of pilot-link, jpilot and all the packages that use those applications (i.e. kpilot) don't make USB sync to your computer under linux. But, the future releases will did and you can, with a few work, have it runing. This is the way I reached to have this runing in a system with Mandrake 8.2: A) First of all, to have pilot-link runing with the usb palm conection. A1: Go to the http://www.pilot-link.org page and download the CVS and built it; I did it under Mandrake 8.2 using: ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/extra/pilot-head --with-perl5=no --with-python=no I had to insmod visor to test the pilot-xfer and create the simbolic link (ln -s /dev/usb/tts/0 /dev/pilot) but due to the using of usbthe sync button must be pressed before run the program because /dev/usb/tts/0 is created dinamycally). Now if you copy all the executable files to /usr/bin (do that as root) you will see that the conection is possible (try with pilot-xfer /dev/ttyUSB0 -l and you will hear a eaven sound ^_^). B) Jpilot version 0.99.10 or lather beta release. B1. Go to the jpilot page and download the source of the beta. B2. configure using: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-pilot-prefix=/usr/extra/pilot-head --with-ccoptions=-Wall -O2 then make finally make install Perhaps you do need to insmod the visor module. That run for me; now I can sync my palm m505 via the usb port, than is faster than the serial conection. Good luck! Francisco Alcaraz Murcia Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Palm HotSync over USB
I have tried using JPilot with Pilot-Link and there is even a listserve for those that use this. But it is to far advanced for me, I guess. I have tried compiling their code (CVS) as their web page and list server users explain, but having never compiled before I became lost with the error messages I was getting and did not know what to do to resolve them. I think I may be stuck waiting for the RPM. I am employed as a senior system analyst and when it comes to data manipulation I really pride myself on how fast I can cleanly manuver data. I understand awk, sed, perl, informix, oracle, and sql. But the OS side is another story that I am just begining to grasp.

B) download the last jpilot tarball from http://www.jpilot.org (jpilot-0.99.2.tar.gz); remember the rpm from mandrake is not valid because you need special compilations options. tar zxvf jpilot. ./configure --disable-nls --disable-pl-test --prefix=/usr --with-pilot-prefix=/usr/extra/pilot-head --with-ccoptions=-Wall -O2 make make install And for me jpilot have done a perfect sync using the usb port!!! explendid Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

After the make, you can test if run: insmod visor; ln -s /dev/usb/tts/0 /dev/pilot; pilot-xfer /dev/pilot -l (It was wonderfull hear the sync music). B) download the last jpilot tarball from http://www.jpilot.org (jpilot-0.99.2.tar.gz); remember the rpm from mandrake is not valid because you need special compilations options. tar zxvf jpilot. ./configure --disable-nls --disable-pl-test --prefix=/usr --with-pilot-prefix=/usr/extra/pilot-head --with-ccoptions=-Wall -O2 make make install And for me jpilot have done a perfect sync using the usb port!!! explendid Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Palm M505 Connectivity with Mandrake
I bought a Palm M505 and I really enjoy it. The problem is that it only works for me with Windows. I have tried using the Pilot-Link mail list and a couple other Palm list looking for help and have yet to have one question answered: Does anyone have a Palm M505 that they are hot syncing with Mandrake Linux? I have had to reinstall Linux twice now as I have messed it up so bad with Package upgrades, swaps, etc... I will not try again until I find someone else that got it to work. And because of that, I am using Windows most of the time now... Help! Dan B Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Palm M505 Connectivity with Mandrake
That's all I wanted to hear. Someone to say that right now it doesn't work. There are some programmers working very hard at this and I have allot of respect for them, but right now, it just isn't possible. Not on Mandrake anyway. I know that two programmers have it working on their beta's, but I don't know what version of Linux they are using and the Kernel has plenty to do with if it will work or not. David Desrosiers has done much work on pilot link (http://www.pilot-link.org) and a programmer by the name of Judd has it almost working perfect also (http://www/jpilot.org). But I don't think either has it working on Mandrake. Soon though! Meanwhile I'll go buy the serial cable. Francisco, do you press the sync button before activating the sync on your software? I'm curious about all those rumors I have heard too!

It seems they are trying to solve the problem but until now the only solution is buy a serial cable to conect your pc to the palm.

What is coldsync? What do you mean by upgrade? I am watching everyone have problems with 8.2 and I am afraid to upgrade. So you think that would settle my problem? I just will not be able to burn CD's anymore. What a win-win situation.

Haha.. well... The reason why I can put up staring at that hour glass is because palm systems have that black area at the bottom of the screen... Which really really bothers me... because it doen't look nice. BUT, I ordered one that runs on palm os already neways...

Re: [newbie] Palm OS vs Windows CE
I posted a message a while ago asking if anyone knows when the consumer version of Sharp Zaurus will come out. (The developer's version comes out in this month.) That was the only Linux pda that I liked. But after comparing that with clie.. I decided on clie, since I really like their design and stuff... And I dun have to wait for it to come out.

[newbie] Palm Pilot can't sync with pilot-xfer
Please send help. the command: "palm-xfer /dev/pilot -b /home/palm-backup" gives the error: "unable to bind to port /dev/pilot" I have already linked /dev/ttys0 with /dev/pilot. I tried substituting some other serial port device names for /dev/pilot. same error. I know the port is OK, because I dual boot and it syncs OK under win98. Suggestions? Brett
