My situation seems to be relevant; this has been posted on the Ubuntu- KDE-PIM site as well.
Apparently this task is beyond my abilities and I need help. I recently purchased a new Palm TX and want to sync it with the KDE-PIM suite Kontact (calendar, contacts, notes, to-do, email). I am using KPilot (4.9.2-358 for KDE 3.5.8) on Kubuntu (7.10-Gutsy). Here are the results of my current configuration. I am willing to provide any additional information when requested. > Palm cradle is connected directly by USB to my DELL Latitude D820 Laptop (not > through a USB hub or docking station). > Palm HotSync is configured to connect to the 'PC' via the 'Cradle/Cable' at a > speed of '9,600 bps' while set to 'Automatic' Flow Control. > KPilot 'Wizard' failed at 30% reporting KPilot crashed was caused by a signal > 11 (already reported multiple time on Bug list w/o solution). Back to the > Wizard configuration screen, I set my Use name to 'john' (as listed on the > Palm HotSync screen) and set Device to '/dev/ttyUSB3'. I saved these setting > by selecting 'Next' then 'Finish' (default set to 'KDE-PIM suite') in order > to create '/dev/pilot'. > The file '/dev/pilot' points to 'ttyUSB3'. > The file '/dev/ttyUSB3' permissions are set to 'Can Read & Write' for > 'Others'. > Linked Palm device to the correct USB port using 'ln -s /dev/ttyUSB3 > /dev/pilot' > ensured permissions by 'chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB3' > Inserted the following line in '/etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules'. BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB*", NAME{ignore_remove}="pilot", MODE="666" > Inserted the word 'Visor' after the last line in '/etc/modules'. After rebooting and the KPilot Daemon in my taskbar tray, I opened Konsole and entered 'tail -f /var/log/messages' to see how the above configuration worked while attempting to HotSync my Palm device; results follow: > With the Palm resting in the cradle.

Does anyone have a suggestion to help me make this work? I seem to be chasing my tail on this one.
