Hi, we had to change from an Palm V to a zire31,because the Palm started to fall apart. Before I made as usually an HotSync with our Linux-Box, SuSE 9.0 +KDE 3.3.2. The Palm has an serial connection.All ok When I startet to make an HotSync with the zire -usb- I got every time the message : no connection found. I didn`t find anything to change to make it work
Otto, In my searches for some info on this for a customer's Palm, I ran across a couple of things that might help. One, and these can be found in the SuSE searchable mail list archives, was to make the user a member of UUCP group. The second was changing the Kpilot settings to point to /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 or USB1. Since it makes or uses /dev/pilot when initially connected, many commented just making that a symlink to one of the ttyUSBx devices. You may have to try a couple to see which one works for you.
ln -s /dev/usb/ttyUSBx /dev/pilot
I haven't gotten a chance to try these yet, so report back on your progress.
regards, Lee The user is in the uucp-group and you have to do ln -sf ... for /dev/pilot is already existent. Under win98SE it works ! :-((( And after Novell took over SuSE, its nearly impossible to find anything on the new Webside ,especially the Mailing-Lists archives. Maybee Im am to old now to play around with so much of advertizing !
