I have the same problem on FC3 when syncing to a Treo 650.  Contacts
and Todo sync ok (although I recently had a sync that generated many
blank Todo entries.  Syncing from desktop to pilot fixed the Todo
problem which may or may not have happened at the same time as the
Calendar sync broke.  I didn't notice).  In any event, Calendar sync
used to work in FC3 with this device.  I don't get any error messages
in Evolution or on the device and both say hotsync was successful. 
Nothing too helpful in /var/log/messages (included in comment #3).

evolution 2.0.2-3
gnome-pilot-2.0.12-4
gnome-pilot-conduits-2.0.12-3

regards,
Joseph Easley

Comment 5 Stan Rost 2005-01-30 23:52:49 UTC
I have the same problem, using FC3 and Palm Vx.  Except the ToDo list
does not synchronize at all.

gnome-pilot.i386                         2.0.12-4               
gnome-pilot-conduits.i386                2.0.12-3
gnome-pilot-devel.i386                   2.0.12-4
evolution.i386                           2.0.2-3
evolution-data-server.i386               1.0.2-3
evolution-connector.i386                 2.0.2-1

Help?  Used to work fine with FC2, need it to work asap.

Comment 6 Joe E. 2005-01-31 00:31:06 UTC
I had many blank tasks created on the Palm device (100's!!!).  Once I
cleared them up, Todo's synced just fine.

For Calendar it looks like there was some corruption in my
calendar.ics that was breaking the conduit.  For the record, I don't
really know what I'm doing.  If you try my suggestion, BE SURE TO BACK
UP your .evolution directory or at least the directories under
.evolution (calendar, etc.) and your Palm pilot.  That being said,

Kill evo from the command line:
  evolution --force-shutdown

open /home/youruser/.evolution/calendar/local/system/calendar.ics with
your favorite text editor.  I found these bogus entries at the end:

Notice they are missing some fields ("SUMMARY") and the DTSTART and
DTEND is 20271230T000000.  Making sure you only delete between the
proper BEGIN and END values, delete these entries.

Open evolution, start gpilotd if it's not already running and try a
hotsync.

If it still doesn't work, you may need to delete
calendar.ics-pilot-sync-evolution-calendar-xxxxx.db and
pilot-map-calendar-xxxx.xml from the same folder.  Also delete
CalendarDB-PDa and DatebookDB on your Palm device and do a "Copy to
Pilot".  Hope this helps.

Joe Easley

Comment 7 David Kaplan 2005-02-21 07:04:29 UTC
I have started having this problem with the latest kernels - gpilotd
spontaneously crashes almost every time it tries to sync the calendar.
 I am using the kernel-2.6.10-1.766_FC3 and gnome-pilot-2.0.12-4 and
pilot-link-0.11.8-8.  Furthermore, upon crashing it manages to
convince itself that it already synced calendar so that next time I
try to run it, even if it works, it will not finish the calendar sync
that crashed it last time.

Between this and the problems that gpilot causes with other usb
devices, gpilot has become almost unuseable. 

By the way, I looked for the strange entries mentioned in the last
post and there were none.

Logs show:

Comment 8 Matthew Miller 2006-07-10 20:33:04 UTC
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!


Comment 9 Matthew Barnes 2007-01-02 12:23:24 UTC
Is this problem still present in Fedora Core 6 or later?

Comment 10 Matěj Cepl 2007-08-31 15:23:13 UTC
The distribution against which this bug was reported is no longer supported,
could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently
supported distribution (Fedora Core 6, or Fedora 7, or Rawhide)? If this issue
turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report.  If
after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this
bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.

Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 11 Matthew Barnes 2007-10-02 16:47:41 UTC
Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
