https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471212 Summary: Sync of Palm w/ kpilot wipes calendar while doing a backup Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE3 AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: argathin@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-0.1 Firefox/3.0.5 The following has happened twice to me so far: I own a Palm Tungsten E2 which contains a lot of personal data. So far, I have mainly used it in conjunction with my PC at work (SuSE 10.0, later Kubuntu 8.04), usually without major problems. I now wanted to sync it to my PC at home running OpenSUSE 11. On that PC, no agenda/address book/TODO data is present. To be on the safe side, I decided to make a backup first. Before doing so, I disabled the conduits in the settings, then requested the next HotSync to be a backup. Despite this, KPilot suddenly starts "transferring records to handheld" and wipes the data on the handheld - *instead* of making a backup as requested. The first time this happened, I was able to restore the data at work, fortunately. As I have this "life line", I decided to re-try once more, making absolutely certain that I have disabled the conduits - with the same result. Again, the agenda on the Palm got wiped - despite having requested a "Backup". As "Backup" should be the very functionality supposed to avoid such a desaster, I regard this misfunction as major, especially, as this causes data loss. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: kpilot is configured to use "usb:" as device link (I was having problems using "/dev/pilot"). 1) Start up kpilot 2) Go to Settings -> Configure Kpilot 3) Select General Setup -> Backup 4) Make CERTAIN that "Run conduits during a backup sync" is NOT checked 5) Apply with OK 6) From the KPilot toolbar, select "Next HotSync will be: Backup". This is confirmed in the KPilot logwindow 7) Start sync 8) Despite me *explicitly* disabling the use of conduits during a backup sync (see above), I get messages about "Synching datebook" and "Copying records to handheld" 9) As there is no data present on the PC, the handheld is wiped. Actual Results: The first time round, agenda and tasks got wiped. The second round I interrupted the sync, hence the tasks were spared. The agenda is once again gone, though. Expected Results: I would have expected kpilot to perform what I requested: Make a full backup of the handheld, but leave the data on the Palm untouched. This is on OpenSUSE 11 with all updates applied. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
