Not clear what you mean - what do you see in the report pane at the bottom? Also, what OS, Palm device and s/w versions (jpilot and pilot-link) do you have?

So, you get the main databases synced correctly, but JPilot stops reporting the backup after the third item, whereas your m515 reports everything being backed up?

Hum, it looks like it synced properly, assuming the size of the pdb files are non-zero. Jpilot actually reads those file for data. Data added/modified/deleted between syncs are stored in the pc3 files. Now I am leaning more towards a GTK font problem. Did you compile Jpilot with GTK 1 or 2? Are all you other GTK programs displaying things properly?

i suspect evolution and jpilot can be used together. i see some references in the console towards evolution. i am using kde only evolution and now jpilot and mozilla as well..

Yes, except when syncing with Jpilot- you would have to kill gnome-pilotd first.

this is the process i see and if i delete it i cant sync so far jpilot will not synz only evolution maricel@ptorico:~> ps aux | grep pilot maricel 17561 0.9 2.6 22468 6676 ?

Ah, you have Gnome Pilot running, that is the problem. Kill that process before syncing with Jpilot- it will interfere with it. e.g.: it will

sync with Evolution and other GNOME programs instead of Jpilot when you press hot sync.

That log shows a full backup being done - when you say "no data", what exactly do you mean? Are there no files within ~/.jpilot?

i mean that if i click in contacts pane in jpilot i dont see my contacts

Yes, this is the normal behaviour.

i noticed if i add a record to jpilot it will copy to the palm which is good

Hum, interesting. You should include this in your post to the Jpilot list. Also, are you sure that all your records are not marked private? In this case you will have to click on the "lock" icon to see it.

This is a backup file taken straight from the Pilot. Jpilot doesn't use it for its data. I suggest we move this discussion to the Jpilot list. You will have more luck there.

Can you do a "strings" on one of the pdb files that you know should contain data to see if there is any data? i.e.: strings AddressDB.pdb | less If you want to redirect it a a file to send to the list, do: strings AddressDB.pdb > debug.log Charles -- "A word to the wise: a credentials dicksize war is usually a bad idea on the net."
