Hello all! I have transitioned into Mandriva 2006 on my desktop at work and have been rather productive with the exception of getting my palm pilot to work properly. I was using a Kyocera 7135 palm/phone combo until last night until it died on me. I was never able to get the Kyocera to sync properly to my satisfaction but it could have been because of a bad phone. I cannot work efficiently without my pda to store all of my important stuff so I am rather stuck until I sort this out. Here is the situation:
Palm Z22 - I purchased this last night in the hopes that a new device would work better than the faulty one Mandriva 2006 - I have this installed on my laptop with all of the latest patches using urpmi Evolution 2.4.1 Exchange 2003 Server Evolution works well with Exchange server. I have set up my Exchange contacts and calendar lists as the default so it doesn't create anything in the local store. I have set up the synchronization options in Evolution and am ready to sync my calendar and contacts. The problem is that the palm pilot never connects. When I hit the hotsync button on the Palm Pilot I see the following files created: /dev/pilot -> /dev/ttyUSB1 When the synchronization has failed these files disappear. It looks like the laptop recognizes the device but it will never sync. I contacted the evolution list and they basically said that I should upgrade to 2.5.2. Unfortunately this version is not yet available from Mandriva and my attempts to manually compile the software failed miserably. Has anyone gotten this to work? Is it possible to synchronize this way using this software? Any help would be most appreciated. This is one of the more important functions that I need to work. If I can't get this to work properly (soon) I will be forced to move back to Windows... :( Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
