Sync Treo 650 with Suse 10.1

Table of contents
  1. 1. Notes


What I'm using:

  • Evolution 2.6.0
  • Treo 650
  • Gpilot 2.0.13
  • Suse 10.1 (SLED)


Well, I'm not 100% certain how I got this to work, but here is what I did. I'm using gpilot to sync my Treo 650 with Suse 10.1 ( SLED 10.1 )


Is the Treo or Palm device communication to your computer. Activate the hotsync and then run:


> lsusb


You should see a Palm device somewhere there. If you don't you have a hardware problem. Either it's your USB (try another port) or your Palm device. This is a non-starter.


Add the following line to (make sure you leave an empty line at the end of the file):


> sudo emacs /etc/fstab

/proc/bus/usb/      /proc/bus/usb/      usbfs      none      0 0


Then add the gpilot applet to your panel by right-clicking and adding it. You may then right-click restart the gpilotd.


Initially, by default gpilot had my device port set to:


/dev/pilot


However, I had problems with this; specifically, I could get gpilot to recognize the device's username. At one point I even got my Treo to backup to my laptop. Alas, it would not sync with Evolution. Once I changed the port to the following, I had no problem:


/dev/ttyUSB1


Again, I'm not certain how I got this working, but this is what I did. Hopefully it continues to work.

Notes

Path to gpilot daemon:

/usr/libexec/gpilotd
