Please verify the sequence you referenced included the following packages and that I've marked their status on your system correctly:
synce-librapi2 - built and installed synce-synce - built and installed synce-dccm - built and installed synce-serial - built and installed synce-rra - failed to build libmimedir - built and installed synce-multisync_plugin - not built or installed synce-trayicon - not built or installed synce-gnomevfs - not built or installed rapip - not built or installed
Absolutely!
So, revert to installing: /synce/synce-0.9.0-1.i386.rpm (i.e. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/synce/synce-0.9.0-1.i386.rpm?download) from article on synce at http://enterprise.linux.com/ via yast
Did YaST issue any warnings or error messages when it installed the rpm package? Are you able to log in and work on the system as root from a console?
No warnings from YaST. SynCE could be started, but then failed, to complete communications with the iPAQ. Also a SynCE conduit started but as this didn't include an iPAQ option (i.e. only included other PDAs) I didn't explore it any further. BUT: All the root/"Session management error:"/"MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1" problems then became apparent. Hi Carl Finally, late yesterday, having exhausted all other options, I did a "dirty" install of my system (from my distro: floppies/CDs downloaded from SuSE). All's (i.e. 99%+) was working fine - only appear to have lost some codec's. All the 'root/"Session management error:"/"MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1"' were resolved ... So, just did a Yast System Update, rebooted, and the 'root/"Session management error:"/"MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1"' problems have returned ... SynCE installation temporary on hold ... Cheers Brian
