The problem occurs during synchronization of the EToDo channel. If I switch off this channel, synchronization completes normally. I'm using Evolution 2.10.1-4
I too have experienced this, using USB sync w/the visor kernel module. I also isolated the problem to EToDo sync; I have disabled all other conduits and created a stack trace after installing gnome-pilot-debuginfo. I have redacted a single line which appeared to contain an encoded password (why there would be a password, I do not know). I have saved the original and can make it available if necessary. I would also recommend changing the summary to reflect that the problem is with the EToDo conduit, not the network sync.

I'm not sure this is the same problem. Gnome-pilot doesn't sync my Treo 700p on 64 bit F7. The gnome-pilot-settings window comes up but nothing happens after that. Gnome-pilot worked fine in FC6. Disabling EtoDo didn't make any difference.

The fix was in the forums. The same problem existed in FC3. Gnome-pilot worked fine in FC5 and FC6 but now it's broken again. Here is the fix, create /etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules with this content: BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL=="ttyUSB[13579]", SYMLINK+="pilot" Here is the link to the page where this fix was described, http://www.clasohm.com/blog/one-entry?entry_id=12096
The one in comment #5 is bug #246637 and the EToDo one is another. And yes, it's a "It happens to me too :-)". It's definitely the EToDo channel, all the other ones work.
Is this problem still present in Fedora 8 Test 2 or later?
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

However the solution works just the same. My only question is, why can't this problems be fixed with each iteration of Fedora without having to resort to manually fixing this problem? I have a Palm Treo 680 and am using Fedora 8. This problem seems to have cropped up starting with Fedora 7. It would be good if the developers can permanently fix this problem without having to manually fix it in each new Fedora release.
(In reply to comment #9) I'm not the reporter, but I just upgraded to F8 and I can sync my treo 650 with the EToDo conduit enabled. Thanks, andrea
Bumping version to Fedora 8 per comment #10.
The problem no longer exists for me, using a fully-updated F8, Treo 650 and libusb access method. (Have not tried visor module.)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Closing as WORKSFORME per comment #13.
