I had the same problem with my PalmV. I tried a lot of different things that I read from the web and none seemed to work. However I have finally got it to work but I am not sure exactly how. From the web I read that one of the problems is that the baud rate on the serial line can be set incorrectly. Initially on both my Palm and in jpilot's preferences it was set to 57600. I read that setting it to 9660 in jpilot's prefs would fix the problem. It didn't. Then I set it to 9660 on the Palm still with no success. Next I set it back to 57600 on both the Palm and jpilot and hey presto it worked ?!?!? I can't be sure that it was only the set of steps above that solved it but it is worth a try. It could be that on upgrading to the FC4 packages the speed in the code drops back to some default without changing the menu item. Changing the speed to 9660 and then to 57600 maybe forces this setting to 57600. Apologies for so many "maybes" and "not sures" here but now that I have it working I don't want to fiddle around with it too much for fear it will break again. Be sure to post whether or not this fixed it. Regards, John McDonald. PS One thing that could be important is that if when the original error pops up you choose to "sync anyway" the username and uid in .jpilot/jpilot.rc is changed to the random value. Hence you may need to edit this file manually and reset it to whatever is stored on the palm pilot. John, I reinstalled the most recent packages and tried various flow rate changes both in JPilot and on the device, as you suggested. Unfortunately I still got the same error message. I'm quite happy with my workaround for the time being. Hi Martin, Apologies for the late update. But it seems that my fix was not a fix but merely some random event of sorts. The sync problem is back even though I have changed nothing. Sorry for the confusion. Hello, could you please try to reproduce this problem with the latest devel jpilot version jpilot-0.99.8-0.pre10.1. (In reply to comment #4) Hello I tried jpilot-0.99.8-0.pre10.1. Ufortunately the problem remains - no synchronization is possible. dlp_OpenConduit() failed Exit-Status: SYNC_ERROR_OPEN_CONDUIT I've created RPM packages as workaround for this problem. pilot-link-118 is the pilot-link package from FC3. It will install entirely into /usr/lib/pilot-link-118 and can be installed together with pilot-link from FC4. The JPilot package is compiled against those old pilot-link libs. http://familie-prokop.de/jpilot.html Since upgrading the following packages I have managed to synchronise successfully: jpilot-0.99.8-0.pre10.fc4.1 pilot-link-0.12.0-0.pre4.0.fc4.2 pilot-link-devel-0.12.0-0.pre4.0.fc4.2 Closing bug. |
