Saw a mail on the list over the weekend asking if the LifeDrive works with Linux, I'm afraid I deleted it, but... Yes, it does - sort of. I use gnome-pilot at the moment[1] and it works for me if I wait for the USB detection to finish when I plug it in and then restart gpilotd. This can normally be achieved by right-clicking on the Pilot applet on my GNOME panel and selecting restart, but sometimes it blocks the applet responding so I have to kill it from the command line. You don't need to restart it then if you use the applet, the applet automatically restarts it for you, then sync as normal. However after each sync, even if you've not unplugged the LifeDrive, you need to restart gpilotd before you sync again. This is a general problem with pilot-link 0.11.x and recent Palm devices. [1] One day we'll all move to OpenSync - to help bring that day about by testing and bug reporting, use the OpenSync repo in the Build Service and if you want GUI action, also use the multisync-gui package from the Home:/Riggwelter repo. -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/imin
