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.

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

Try /dev/usb*
Any ideas? Thanks eric

Are you sure you didn't misspell?

mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0 mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1 mknod /dev/ttyUSB2 c 188 2 mknod /dev/ttyUSB3 c 188 3 or reinstall the package devs.rpm from the CDs/DVD

You might check for the same device numbers in /dev/usb. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __" http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 Dump Microsoft Software - Stop virus email Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org " http://counter.li.org " #279316

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!"
