Works for getting data from computer to PDA; problem appears to be gettingdata from PDA to computer, and is specifically calendar-related; e.g. contacts work as expected *** Bug 139617 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I'm using evolution 2.0.4 (from Fedora Core 3 testing updates), and it seems to lock up whether I synchronize or copy from evo (same with evo 2.0.2). Here is the output from gpilotd when this happens: ecalconduit-Message: --------------------------------------------------------- ecalconduit-Message: pre_sync: Calendar Conduit v.0.1.6 ecalconduit-Message: Using timezone: /softwarestudio.org/Olson_20011030_5/America/New_York I'm trying to sync to a Treo650, which works with local calendars. I've tried manually upgrading to evo 2.2.0 (rebuilt all appropriate rpms from Fedora 4 test), but to no avail- that seemed to be less stable. Created attachment 112214 [details]
Patch to fix broken pilot synchronization
I believe I have solved this. Try this patch out.
I see this problem on RHEL 4 and it is causing me not to be able to sync my Palm pilot with Evolution running with the Connector. It appears to be the calendar that causes the problem. What do I do about resolving the problem - I would guess that the patch supplied has to be applied to a source rpm (which one) and are there any instructions anywhere regarding doing this? Is it likely to be fixed in the near future - ie is the next update of evolution going to resolve this problem so that I can just up2date away from the problem? Gary, the patch above should be applied to Ximian Connector (in the Fedora 'evolution-connector' srpm. To do it manually, download the evolution-connector rpm for FC3, install it, then edit the spec file to add my patch, as per the RPM spec format. Then rebuild the rpm with 'rpmbuild -ba evolution-connector.spec'. BTW, this is really a bug with evolution-connector, not gnome-pilot or the conduits. I have tried this and installed the new RPM but it has not fixed the problem. Any ideas what I do to get Redhat to fix this in RHEL as it is a real nuisance not to be able to sync with my Palm Pilot? Thanks. The patch looks good to me; I'm working on a test FC-3 update for this. It looks like the bug persists upstream, so this will affect FC-4 as well; I'll help with getting this committed upstream. Gary Mansell: It may be that the problems you're encountering are this bug, or that you're seeing a different bug (or perhaps a combination). I recommend opening an issue with Red Hat Support so that we can be sure that we get the problems you're seeeing fixed. https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/ It will help us if you cite this bugzilla ID for reference when you do. I've marked the problem identified by Aaron Gaudio as a candidate for inclusion in a RHEL 4 quarterly update. Please open an issue with Red Hat Support if you want a faster fix, or information on exactly when the update will be available. I hope this answers your questions I've released a test update for FC3 containing the patch: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2005-May/msg00457.html Dave, My patch also applies cleanly to connector 2.2.2 (in Fedora Core 4 Test), which also appears to have the same problem. Thanks! Has anyone tried the the FC3 test package? I'm trying to get your patch into the FC4 package before release. I added some notes to the upstream bug, in the hope of getting this fixed there as well. Has anyone tried the FC3 test package? https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2005-May/msg00457.html (I created bug 161133 to track this bug for RHEL 4) This is now available as a full update for FC3: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2005-August/msg00124.html |
