I am trying to (again) sync my Tungsten E to Kontact. I got it to work once, but now it won't budge.
The error in Kpilot is: 20:12:30 Daemon status is `Waiting for sync' 20:15:55 Pilot device /dev/ttyUSB1 does not exist. Assuming the device uses DevFS. 20:15:56 Trying to open device /dev/ttyUSB1... 20:15:56 Already listening on that device Check Pilot path and permissions. 20:15:56 Could not open device: /dev/ttyUSB1 (will retry) 20:16:06 Already listening on that device Check Pilot path and permissions. [...] I see when I do an 'ls /dev/ttyUSB*' that there are no USB devices. Now that I see that, I even more confused. How did it work before? And, since there is no device now, how do I get one?
Any ideas? Thanks eric
Eric, From my notes in doing research on this for a customer. Oh, I found all this in the searchable SuSE mail list archives, if you want to do further research. It seems that kpilot sets up initially to use device /dev/pilot and you can check kpilot's settings for that I believe as I don't have a Palm, so can't verify. In the mails I read, it was suggested that you either point your kpilot to /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1 or just make the /dev/kpilot a symlink to one of those. Either of those seem to work for everyone that had the same question. regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.1 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
